Sophos XG configure a DHCP relay

Présentation

A DHCP relay is a service that listens for DHCPDISCOVER frames to transfer them to a DHCP server.

The DHCP relay avoids installing a DHCP service by network segment (MPLS, VLAN …).

Before configuring the relay firewall, the DHCP service must be an IP range for the segment where the relay will be configured.
