DHCP Relay in Firewall

[fatalXerror]

Hi,

I am just wondering, do we need to allow in a firewall rule a DHCP traffic if my firewall is setup with DHCP Relay for my LAN?

For example, LAN-10 <-----> Firewall <---DHCP Relay---> DHCP Server.

In my understanding, no need since the firewall is the one talking to the DHCP Server and relay DHCP traffic to the LAN-10. I just need your clarification for this.

Thanks

@fatalXerror no you don't, the traffic would be sourced from the firewall itself. Normal firewall rules apply only to traffic through the firewall.
