Configuring a DHCP Relay Agent

Minimum DHCP Relay Agent Configuration

The following sample output shows the minimum configuration you must use to configure an SRX Series device as a DHCP relay agent. In this output, the active server group is named server-1 and its IP address is 1.1.1.1. The DHCP relay agent configuration is applied to a group named bob. Within this group, the DHCP relay agent is enabled on interface ge-1/0/1.0.

[edit forwarding-options]
dhcp-relay {server-group {server-1 {1.1.1.1;}}active-server-group server-1;group bob {interface ge-1/0/1.0;}}

Note: To configure the DHCP relay agent in a routing instance, configure the dhcp-relay statements in the [edit routing-instances] hierarchy level .

Verifying and Managing DHCP Relay Configuration

Purpose

View or clear address bindings or statistics for DHCP relay agent clients.

Action

  • To display the address bindings for DHCP relay agent clients:
    user@host> show dhcp relay binding
  • To display DHCP relay agent statistics:
    user@host> show dhcp relay statistics
  • To clear the binding state of DHCP relay agent clients:
    user@host> clear dhcp relay binding
  • To clear all DHCP relay agent statistics:
    user@host> clear dhcp relay statistics

To clear or view information about client bindings and statistics in a routing instance, run the following commands:

  • show dhcp relay binding routing instance <routing-instance name>
  • show dhcp relay statistics routing instance <routing-instance name>
  • clear dhcp relay binding routing instance <routing-instance name>
  • clear dhcp relay statistics routing instance <routing-instance name>

Note: On all SRX Series devices, DHCP relay is unable to update the binding status based on DHCP_RENEW and DHCP_RELEASE messages.
