Configuring L2 and L3 Relay Features
Table 33-1. Default Ports - UDP Port Numbers Implied By Wildcard
The system limits the number of relay entries to four times the maximum
number of routing interfaces (512 relay entries). There is no limit to the
number of relay entries on an individual interface, and no limit to the number
of servers for a given {interface, UDP port} pair.
Certain configurable DHCP relay options do not apply to relay of other
protocols. You may optionally set a maximum hop count or minimum wait
time using the bootpdhcprelay maxhopcount and bootpdhcprelay
minwaittime commands.
The relay agent relays DHCP packets in both directions. It relays broadcast
packets from the client to one or more DHCP servers, and relays packets to
the client that the DHCP server unicasts back to the relay agent. For other
protocols, the relay agent only relays broadcast packets from the client to the
server. Packets from the server back to the client are assumed to be unicast
directly to the client. Because there is no relay in the return direction for
protocols other than DHCP, the relay agent retains the source IP address from
the original client packet. The relay agent uses a local IP address as the source
IP address of relayed DHCP client packets.
When a switch receives a broadcast UDP packet on a routing interface, the
relay agent verifies that the interface is configured to relay to the destination
UDP port. If so, the relay agent unicasts the packet to the configured server IP
addresses. Otherwise, the relay agent verifies that there is a global
