6.5.5 (Optional) Configuring the DHCP Relay Agent to Instruct the
DHCP Server to Reclaim the Client IP address
In some situations, a DHCP relay agent must send a request to the DHCP server to instruct the
server to reclaim the IP address of a client, for example, to log out a user.
Context
When a DHCP relay agent is configured to instruct the DHCP server to reclaim the IP address
of a DHCP client, the relay agent sends a DHCP Release packet to the DHCP server. After
receiving the packet, the DHCP server reclaims the lease of the IP address.
Procedure
Step 1
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2
(Optional) Run:
interface
interface-type
interface-number
The interface view is displayed.
On the AR150/200, a Layer 3 Ethernet interface or its sub-interface, a Layer 3 Eth-trunk interface
or its sub-interface, or a VLANIF interface can be configured to function as a DHCP relay agent.
Step 3
Run:
dhcp relay release
client-ip-address
mac-address
server-ip-address
A request packet is sent to the DHCP server to instruct the server to reclaim the IP address that
is obtained by a DHCP client.
