To configure DHCPv4 Relay forwarding options:
- Access the [edit forwarding-options dhcp-relay] hierarchy.[edit]user@host# edit forwarding-options dhcp-relay
- Specify that you want to configure authentication options
and use external AAA authentication services.[edit forwarding-options dhcp-relay]user@host# edit authentication
- (Optional) Configure a password that authenticates the username to the external authentication service.
- (Optional) Configure optional features to create a unique username.
- Specify the default dynamic profile that you want to attach
to all DHCP subscriber that access the router.[edit forwarding-options dhcp-relay]user@host# set dynamic-profile Wholesaler_Profile
- Specify any overrides for the default DHCP Relay configuration.
See Overriding the Default DHCP Relay Configuration Settings.
- Configure a named server group for default (wholesaler)
DHCP server access.[edit forwarding-options dhcp-relay]user@host# edit server-group Wholesaler_Group
- Specify the DHCP server address for the default (wholesale)
group.[edit forwarding-options dhcp-relay server-group “Wholesaler_Group”]user@host# set 192.168.100.1
- Specify the default (wholesale) group as the active server
group.[edit forwarding-options dhcp-relay]user@host# set active-server-group Wholesaler_Group
- Configure a group you can use to define the wholesale
DHCP access interface.[edit forwarding-options dhcp-relay]user@host# edit group Wholesaler_Group
- Specify the default (wholesale) interface that all DHCP
subscribers use when first accessing the router.[edit forwarding-options dhcp-relay group “Wholesaler_Group”]user@host# set interface ge-2/3/0.1
- Configure a group you can use to define a retail DHCP
interface.[edit forwarding-options dhcp-relay]user@host# edit group Retailer1_Group
- Specify the logical interface the DHCP subscribers use
once redirected.[edit forwarding-options dhcp-relay group “Retailer1_Group”]user@host# set interface ge-2/3/0.2
- Repeat steps 12 and 13 for other retailer groups.
In this solution example, you configure another group name of “Retailer2_Group” and specify ge-2/3/0.3 for the logical interface.
