A DHCP server provides dynamic and static address allocation and supports customized configurations of DNS servers, gateways, WINS servers, NetBIOS node types, and Option fields for clients.
This section describes how to configure DHCP relay. DHCP relay helps a DHCP client on a specific network segment obtain an IP address from a DHCP server on another network segment. DHCP relay also allows DHCP clients on different network segments to share a DHCP server.
By querying address lease information on a DHCP server, you can view the IP address assigned by the DHCP server, user MAC addresses, and IP address binding type. You can also determine whether the lease has expired.
