DHCP Offer is not a broadcast traffic when using a DHCP Relay, why?
Hi,
I use a DHCP relay to forward the DHCP packets from a FC 4 system to the DHCP server running on a FC 4 system, 2.6.11. The agent gets the DHCP discover message and adds the relay agent information and sends to the DHCP server. I get the DHCP offer from the server which is a Unicast packet to the IP that will be assigned to the client. Generally the DHCP offer will be a broadcast message. Will the server send a Unicast Offer message because of using a Relay? Because the destination IP is not the IP of the relay, the relay is not processing the packet. Thanks, Dhanesh. |
