DHCP Relay
|
|
##########
|
|
|
|
If you want your router to forward DHCP requests to an external DHCP server
|
|
you can configure the system to act as a DHCP relay agent. The DHCP relay
|
|
agent works with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
|
|
|
|
All interfaces used for the DHCP relay must be configured.
|
|
|
|

IPv4 relay

|
**********
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-relay interface <interface>
|
|
|
|
Enable the DHCP relay service on the given interface.
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-relay server <server>
|
|
|
|
Configure IP address of the DHCP `<server>` which will handle the relayed
|
|
packets.
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-relay relay-options relay-agents-packets discard
|
|
|
|
The router should discard DHCP packages already containing relay agent
|
|
information to ensure that only requests from DHCP clients are forwarded.
|
|
|
|
Options
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-relay relay-options hop-count <count>
|
|
|
|
Set the maximum hop `<count>` before packets are discarded. Range 0...255,
|
|
default 10.
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-relay relay-options max-size <size>
|
|
|
|
Set maximum `<size>` of DHCP packets including relay agent information. If a
|
|
DHCP packet size surpasses this value it will be forwarded without appending
|
|
relay agent information. Range 64...1400, default 576.
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-relay relay-options relay-agents-packet
|
|
<append | discard | forward | replace>
|
|
|
|
Four policies for reforwarding DHCP packets exist:
|
|
|
|
* **append:** The relay agent is allowed to append its own relay information
|
|
to a received DHCP packet, disregarding relay information already present
|
|
in the packet.
|
|
|
|
* **discard:** Received packets which already contain relay information will
|
|
be discarded.
|
|
|
|
* **forward:** All packets are forwarded, relay information already present
|
|
will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
* **replace:** Relay information already present in a packet is stripped and
|
|
replaced with the router's own relay information set.
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
* Listen for DHCP requests on interface ``eth1``.
|
|
* DHCP server is located at IPv4 address 10.0.1.4.
|
|
* Router receives DHCP client requests on ``eth1`` and relays them to the server
|
|
at 10.0.1.4.

|
Operation
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
.. opcmd:: restart dhcp relay-agent
|
|
|
|

IPv6 relay

|
|
|
|
.. _dhcp-relay:ipv6_configuration:
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcpv6-relay listen-interface <interface>
|
|
|
|
Set eth1 to be the listening interface for the DHCPv6 relay.
|
|
|
|
Multiple interfaces may be specified.
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcpv6-relay upstream-interface <interface>
|
|
address <server>
|
|
|
|
Specifies an upstream network `<interface>` from which replies from
|
|
`<server>` and other relay agents will be accepted.
|
|
|
|
.. _dhcp-relay:ipv6_options:
|
|
|
|
Options
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcpv6-relay max-hop-count 'count'
|
|
|
|
Set maximum hop count before packets are discarded, default: 10
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcpv6-relay use-interface-id-option
|
|
|
|
If this is set the relay agent will insert the interface ID. This option is
|
|
set automatically if more than one listening interfaces are in use.
|
|
|
|
.. _dhcp-relay:ipv6_example:
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
* DHCPv6 requests are received by the router on `listening interface` ``eth1``
|
|
* Requests are forwarded through ``eth2`` as the `upstream interface`
|
|
* External DHCPv6 server is at 2001:db8::4
