Relay Over
VPN
For a Central DHCP Relay Agent, selecting this checkbox allows the device to act
as a VPN Relay agent and supports DHCP requests arriving over VPN tunnels
using IKE. The device will forward the requests onto the DHCP server.
Remote DHCP
Relay Agent
Select this option if the device is connected to a client network that sends DHCP
lease requests. In this configuration, the device listens for DHCP requests from its
LAN. This option is recommended for an device in a remote office that is relaying
DHCP requests to a central DHCP server in the head office.
VPN Tunnel If Remote DHCP Relay Agent is selected, this parameter identifies the VPN Tunnel
the X family device uses to pass DHCP requests to the central DHCP relay agent.
Note If you are using DHCP Relay over VPN, any LAN devices attached to the
Remote VPN Relay agent that are not using DHCP must be configured as Static
Reservations. (See “
Static Reservations” on page 174). To configure, navigate to
Network > DHCP Server. Then, select the Static Reservations page.
You can only use DHCP Relay Over VPN when the VPN between two devices is
configured to use Internet Key Exchange (IKE).
Note Make sure that the tunnels connecting to device configured as
the Remote VPN Relay agent are configured as Destination network
addresses assigned by DHCP in the Tunnel Setup section of the
VPN - Create Security IPSec Configuration page.
