Usage
Information
You can add multiple DHCP servers by entering the
ip helper-address
command
multiple times. If multiple servers are defined, an incoming request is sent simultaneously to all
configured servers and the reply is forwarded to the DHCP client.
FTOS uses standard DHCP ports, that is UDP ports 67 (server) and 68 (client) for DHCP relay
services. It listens on port 67 and if it receives a broadcast, the software converts it to unicast,
and forwards to it to the DHCP-server with source port=68 and destination port=67.
The server replies with source port=67, destination port=67 and FTOS forwards to the client
with source port=67, destination port=68.
