The DHCP client applies for an IP address through the DHCP relay. When the
packet from DHCP client passes the DHCP relay, the DHCP relay adds its
primary IP address in the packet and forwards the packet to the DHCP server.
When receiving the packet, DHCP server allocates an IP address in the same
segment as the IP address added by the DHCP relay.

If there is a local DHCP Server, when the DHCP Client applies for IP addresses, it
can be assigned with only the address which is in the same network segment
with the primary IP address of the interface connecting the client to the server.
The client cannot be assigned with the address which is in the same network
segment with the secondary IP address of the interface connecting the client to
the server.

Enable/Disable DHCP security on a VLAN interface
If you enable the DHCP security feature on a VLAN interface, the switch performs
user address checking on the VLAN interface to prevent unauthorized binding
request. If you disable the DHCP security feature on a VLAN interface, the switch
does not perform user address checking on the VLAN interface.

request. If you disable the DHCP security feature on a VLAN interface, the switch
does not perform user address checking on the VLAN interface.
Perform the following configuration in VLAN interface view.
The DHCP security feature is disabled on a VLAN interface by default.

CAUTION: After the DHCP security feature is enabled on a VLAN interface, the
client that has already obtained an IP address will lose its access right and has to
apply for an IP address again. Therefore, it is recommended that the administrator
should conduct this configuration before any user has obtained an IP address.
