ip dhcp relay address

Configures the IP DHCP Relay on a Layer 3 interface.

Syntax

ip dhcp relay address ip-addr [ use-vrf vrf-name ]

Parameters

ip-addr: IPv4 address of the DHCP server where the DHCP client requests are to be forwarded.
use-vrf: Use this option if the VRF where the DHCP server is located is different from the VRF of the interface where the client is connected.
vrf-name: VRF name.

Modes

Interface configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

This command uses the IPv4 address of the DHCP server where the DHCP client requests are to be forwarded.

Enter the command while in interface configuration mode for a VE or Ethernet interface where you want to configure the IP DHCP Relay. Configure up to sixteen DHCP server IP addresses per interface.

Use the no version of this command to remove the IP DHCP relay from the interface. If the use-vrf option is not used, it is assumed that the DHCP server and interface where the client is connected are on the same VRF.

Examples

To configure an IP DHCP Relay address on a Ve interface:

device# config
device(config)# interface ve 100
device(config-Ve-100)# ip dhcp relay address 3.1.2.255 use-vrf blue
