Information
When set to primary, the cable-mac interface’s primary IP address is used for both CM and CPE DHCP messages. When set to policy,
the cable-mac interface’s primary IP address is used for CMs, while the interface’s secondary IP address is used for CPEs.

The MAC identifier and optional sub interface.
<primary | policy>
Primary —When the DHCP Relay Agent is defined for Primary operation on a specific interface, the Primary IP address of the
interface is used to populate the gi_addr field of all DHCP messages originating from either CMs or Hosts (CPEs)
Policy—When the DHCP Relay Agent is defined for Policy operation on a specific interface, the Primary IP address of the interface is
used to populate the gi_addr field of all DHCP messages originating from CMs. For Hosts (CPEs), a designated secondary IP address
of the interface is used. If multiple secondary IP address are defined for dhcp-giaddr support, then the DHCP Relay Agent uses
round-robin selection, choosing the next entry in the list with each new DHCP transaction.
