Before configuring a firewall interface as a DHCP relayagent,
make sure you have configured a Layer 3 Ethernet or Layer
3 VLAN interface and that you assigned the interface to a virtual
router and a zone. You want that interface to be able to pass DHCP
messages between clients and servers. Each interface can forward
messages to a maximum of eight external IPv4 DHCP servers and eight external
IPv6 DHCP servers. A client sends a DHCPDISCOVER message to all
configured servers, and the firewall relays the DHCPOFFER message
of the first server that responds back to the requesting client.
