5.2.2.2 DHCP Relay Configuration
Some ISPs perform the DHC
P 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. You should set the DHCP
mode to act as a DHCP relay.
