Configuring a DHCP Relay Agent

The DHCP relay agent, dhcp_relay, runs on a system on each network and forwards DHCP requests to the DHCP master server. To determine the location of the DHCP server, dhcp_relay reads the /var/dhcp/config/dhcp_relay.servers file, which contains a list of DHCP server hostnames or addresses. If you chose, you can store the server list file in an alternate directory.

Use the DHCP Relay Options form to manage relay agents and configure dhcp_relay options:

Enable DHCP relay agent: This selection controls whether the relay agent should run on this system and forward requests to the server. Select Yes to turn the relay agent on, and select No to turn it off.

(Default value: No)

Directory for server configuration files: This field specifies the location of the dhcp_relay.servers file on this system. The default directory that contains dhcp_relay.servers is /var/dhcp/config. To change this location, enter an alternate directory name in this field.

(Default value: /var/dhcp/config)

List of DHCP Servers: This list contains the name or Internet address of each DHCP server to which this relay agent forwards client configuration requests. The list is updated each time you add or remove a server using the Add and Delete option on this form.

(Default value: none)

Delete selected servers from the list: This selection removes a server from the DHCP server list, preventing the relay agent from forwarding configuration requests to the server. To remove a server, select its name or address from the DHCP server list and click Yes; then click the Ok button.

(Default value: none)

List of new DHCP Servers to Add: Contains a list of new DHCP servers to which the relay agent can forward configuration requests. To add servers, enter hostnames or addresses (separated by an empty space); click the OK button when the list is complete.

(Default value: none)
