7.2.6 DHCP Relay
The appliance can also be used as DHCP relay. In this case a central DHCP server distri-
butes the DHCP information in the network. The appliance receives the broadcast querys
and forwards them to the central DHCP server. The answers of the server will be returned to
the clients by the DHCP relay. In this way the clients receive IP addresses and network in-
formation dynamically although the DHCP server stands in another subnet.
In the section

should be received and to which they should be forwarded.
