The DHCP Relay Agent makes it possible for DHCP broadcast messages to be sent over routers.
The DHCP Relay Agent enables DHCP clients to obtain IP addresses from a DHCP server on a
remote subnet, or those that are not located on the local subnet.
DHCP Relay Agent (Option 82)
Option 82 is used by the relay agent to insert additional information into the client’s DHCP request.
The Relay Agent Information option is inserted by the DHCP relay agent when forwarding
client-originated DHCP packets to a DHCP server. Servers can recognize the Relay Agent
Information option and use the information to implement IP addresses to Clients.
When Option 82 is enabled on the switch, a subscriber device is identified by the switch port through
which it connects to the network (in addition to its MAC address). Multiple hosts on the subscriber
LAN can be connected to the same port on the access switch and are uniquely identified.
The Option 82 information contains 2 sub-options: Circuit ID and Remote ID, which define the
relationship between end device IP and the DHCP Option 82 server. The “Circuit ID” is a 4-byte
number generated by the Ethernet switch—a combination of physical port number and VLAN ID.
The format of the “Circuit ID” is as described below:
FF–VV–VV–PP
Where the first byte “FF” is fixed to “01”, the second and the third byte “VV-VV” is formed by the
port VLAN ID in hex, and the last byte “PP” is formed by the port number in hex. For example,
