4 Use the 

 command to verify that the dhcp_relay.txt configuration file was 

applied to the switch. The display is similar to the one shown here:

-> show configuration status

File configuration <dhcp_relay.txt>: completed with no errors

File configuration: none scheduled

Running configuration and saved configuration are different 

Note. If the configuration file applied with the 

 command results in no changes to the 

saved configuration, the message will state that the running configuration and saved configuration are 
identical. To synchronize the running configuration and the saved configuration, use the 

 

command. 

For more information about this display, see “Configuration File Manager Commands” in the OmniSwitch 
CLI Reference Guide.

5 Use a the 

 command to verify that the DHCP Relay parameters defined in the configu-

ration files were actually implemented on the switch. The display is similar to the one shown here:

-> show ip helper

Forward Delay (seconds) = 15

Max number of hops     = 3

Forwarding option

= standard

Forwarding Address:

128.251.16.52 

These results confirm that the commands specified in the file dhcp_relay.txt configuration file were 
successfully applied to the switch.
