 DHCP Relay Configuration 1) Configure the Option 82 parameters to record the information of the clients. You are suggested to configure the option82 on the nearest Relay of the client. 2) Specify the DHCP Server which assigns IP addresses actually.  Option 82 On this switch, Option 82 is used to record the location of the DHCP Client, the ethernet port and the VLAN, etc. Upon receiving the DHCP-REQUEST packet, the switch adds the Option 82 field to the packet and then transmits the packet to DHCP Server. The Server can be acquainted with the location of the DHCP Client via Option 82, so as to locate the DHCP Client, and assign the distribution policy of IP addresses and the other parameters for fulfilling the security control and account management of the client. Option 82 can contain 255 sub-options at most. If Option 82 is defined, at least one sub-option should be defined. This Switch supports two sub-options, Circuit ID and Remote ID. Since there is no universal standard about the content of Option 82, different manufacturers define the sub-options of Option 82 to their need. For this Switch, the sub-options are defined as follows: The Circuit ID is defined to be the number and VLAN of the port which receives the DHCP Request packets. The Remote ID is defined to be the MAC address of DHCP Relay device which receives the DHCP Request packets from DHCP Clients. Furthermore these two parameters also can be manually configured. The format of Option 82 defined on the switch by default is given in the following figure. The numbers in parentheses indicate the size of each field in octets. By default, sub-option1 is Circuit ID option recording the VLAN and ethernet port information, while sub-option2 is Remote ID option recording the MAC address information of the client. You can define the sub-options manually. Figure10-16 Option 82 Note: The option 82 parameters configured on the switch should base on and meet the requirement of the network. The DHCP Relay, allowing the clients to get the IP address from the server in another subnet, is implemented on the DHCP Relay page. When the DHCP Server is enabled, the DHCP Relay will be enabled too. 10.5.1 Global Config This page allows you to enable the DHCP Relay function.

DHCP Relay Configuration
1)
Configure the Option 82 parameters to record the information of the clients. You are
suggested to configure the option82 on the nearest Relay of the client.
2)
Specify the DHCP Server which assigns IP addresses actually.
Option 82
On this switch, Option 82 is used to record the location of the DHCP Client, the ethernet port and
the VLAN, etc. Upon receiving the DHCP-REQUEST packet, the switch adds the Option 82 field to
the packet and then transmits the packet to DHCP Server. The Server can be acquainted with the
location of the DHCP Client via Option 82, so as to locate the DHCP Client, and assign the
distribution policy of IP addresses and the other parameters for fulfilling the security control and
account management of the client.
Option 82 can contain 255 sub-options at most. If Option 82 is defined, at least one sub-option
should be defined. This Switch supports two sub-options, Circuit ID and Remote ID. Since there is
no universal standard about the content of Option 82, different manufacturers define the
sub-options of Option 82 to their need. For this Switch, the sub-options are defined as follows:
The Circuit ID is defined to be the number and VLAN of the port which receives the DHCP

The format of Option 82 defined on the switch by default is given in the following figure. The

ID option recording the VLAN and ethernet port information, while sub-option2 is Remote ID option
