DHCP Relay Global Settings
Users can enable and configure DHCP Relay Global Settings. The relay hops count limit allows the maximum
number of hops (routers) that the DHCP messages can be relayed through to be set. The DHCP packet will be
dropped when the relay hop count in the received packet is equal to or greater than this setting. The range is
between 1 and 16 hops, with a default value of 4. The relay time threshold sets the minimum time (in seconds) that
the Switch will wait before forwarding a BOOTREQUEST packet. If the value in the seconds’ field of the packet is
less than the relay time threshold, the packet will be dropped. The range is between 0 and 65,535 seconds, with a
default value of 0 seconds.

value in the seconds’ field of the DHCP packet. If a non-zero value is entered, the
Switch will use that value, along with the hop count to determine whether to forward
