6.2.2 DHCP Relay Configuration 

Some ISPs perform the DHCP server function for their customers’ home/small office network. 

In this case, you can configure this device to act as a DHCP relay agent. When a host on your 

network requests Internet access, the device contacts your ISP to obtain the IP configuration, 

and then forward that information to the host.   

 

 

 

Apply Changes 

Click  to  save  the  setting  to  the  configuration.  New  parameters  will  take  effect  after 

saving into flash memory and rebooting the system.   

Field 

Description 

DHCP Server 

Address 

Specify the IP address of your ISP’s DHCP server. Requests for IP 

information from your LAN will be passed to the default gateway, which 

should route the request appropriately.
