How To Configure Cyberoam as DHCP Relay


Agent
Applicable Version: 10.00 Build 309 onwards
Overview
The DHCP Relay Agent allows intercommunication between DHCP clients and DHCP servers on different
networks. DHCP messages are IP broadcast messages that do not, by default, cross router interfaces.
However, a DHCP Relay Agent makes it possible for DHCP broadcast messages to be sent over routers
that do not support forwarding of these types of messages. The DHCP Relay Agent enables DHCP clients to
obtain IP addresses from a DHCP server on a remote subnet.

Scenario
Configure Cyberoam as DHCP Relay Agent. The Relay Agent allows a DHCP server configured in one
subnet to lease IP addresses in a different subnet.

Here, as an example, we consider a Windows Server 2003 configured as a DHCP Server 172.16.16.17 in
network 172.16.16.0/24. Cyberoam is configured in another network 10.10.1.0/24. The DHCP Server is to
lease IP Addresses from the range 10.10.1.10 - 10.10.1.30 to clients behind Cyberoam.

Configuration
You must be logged on to the Web Admin Console as an administrator with Read-Write permission for
relevant feature(s).

deployment where DHCP server running in high
availability environment. DHCP Relay will forward
