35.2. DHCP Relay Mode

DHCP is designed to use the BOOTP protocol specifications so that DHCP messages are passed between DHCP clients and DHCP servers.

For example, to allow the relay of DHCP packets to the server 192.168.0.250, type the command:

[17:40:46] ABILIS_CPX:s dhcp lan:1 mode:relay server:192.168.0.250

COMMAND EXECUTED 

[17:42:37] ABILIS_CPX:d dhcp lan:1
