If another DHCP server is located in the LAN, the device can obtain the address information it requires from the other DHCP server if it is in DHCP client mode.
The LANCOM can also operate as a DHCP relay agent and as a DHCP relay server.
- As a DHCP relay agent the LANCOM forwards DHCP requests to another DHCP server.
- As a DHCP relay server the LANCOM processes DHCP requests forwarded from DHCP relay agents.
