DHCP Relay
Application Environment of DHCP Relay
In DHCP model, DHCP clients broadcast its DHCP request, so the DHCP sever and clients must
be on the same subnet, which require the DHCP server is available in every subnet. It is costly
to build so much DHCP Server. DHCP relay agent solves the problem. Via a relay agent, DHCP
clients request an IP address from the DHCP server in another subnet, and DHCP clients in
different subnets can share the same DHCP server in the internet.
