The DHCP Relay Agent listens for DHCP and BOOTP queries and responses.
When a query is received from a client, dhcrelay forwards it to the
list of DHCP servers specified on the command line. When a reply is
received from a server, it is broadcast or unicast (according to the
relay agentâs ability or the clientâs request) on the network from
which the original request came
Hmm.. from what i read, this isn't really necessary is it? It only states that it's necessary if
you have more than 1 dhcp server and they're on diff networks etc. or if the dhcp server is
down and thus needs to be forwarded to the backup one.
Other than that, I don't see why you need this.
Can you please explain?
