DHCP Local Relay
Commands
config dhcp_local_relay vlan <vlan_name 32> state [enable | disable]
config dhcp_local_relay vlan vlanid <vlan_id 1-4094> state [enable | disable]
21-1 config dhcp_local_relay vlan
Description
This command is used to enable or disable the DHCP local relay function for a specified VLAN. By
default, the switch will not broadcast DHCP packets on any VLAN for which a DHCP relay is
configured. DHCP packets will be intercepted, and only be relayed to the servers specified in the
dhcp_relay command. This is done to minimise the risk with rogue DHCP servers. Enabling the
dhcp_local_relay feature will restore the broadcast behaviour, and cause DHCP packets also to be
broadcasted on the specified VLAN.
Note: When “dhcp_local_relay” is enabled, the switch will automatically add DHCP option 82, and
the source MAC and gateway in the packet will remain unchanged.
Format
config dhcp_local_relay vlan <vlan_name 32> state [enable | disable]
Parameters
<vlan_name 32> - Enter the name of the VLAN to be enabled for DHCP local relay.
state - Enable or disable DHCP local relay for a specified VLAN.
enable - Enable DHCP local relay for a specified VLAN.

Restrictions
Only Administrators, Operators and Power-Users can issue this command.
