DHCP relay

Fri, 23 Jul 2021 15:58:05 GMT

I'm getting my network setup while I wait for my order to arrive and I've run into an issue around DHCP.

I need to setup a DHCP relay as shown in this article - https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/DHCP/Configuring_DHCP_Relay - but I do not see a DHCP relay option for my network (see picture below)

Any guidance would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Penelope

Hi Penelope,

To leverage a DHCP relay option, the MX appliance must be in "Routed" mode and also you must have VLANs enabled. Both of these settings can be verified by navigating to Security & SD-WAN > Addressing & VLANs from within your Meraki Dashboard portal.

Let us know if you have any additional questions around this.

Thanks!

Jonathan
