Example: Configuring DHCP Relay in a VPLS Routing Instance Environment

The following example configures DHCP relay in a bridge domain (VLAN) environment. The MX Series router will trust only the MAC addresses learned on the listed interfaces.

Note: This is not a complete router configuration.

The router has three interfaces: two interfaces (ge-2/2/4 and ge-2/2/6) using VLAN 100 for the DHCP clients, and one (xe-9/2/0) leading to the DHCP server. The router performs the DHCP snooping (relay) function.

Configure the Interfaces

[edit interfaces]

ge-2/2/4 {encapsulation ethernet-bridge;unit 0 {family bridge {interface-mode access;vlan-id 100;}}}

ge-2/2/6 {encapsulation ethernet-bridge;unit 0 {family bridge {interface-mode access;vlan-id 100;}}}

xe-9/2/0 {unit 0 {family bridge {interface-mode access;vlan-id 100;}}}

Configure the Routing Instance (Virtual Switch)

[edit routing-instances]

vs1 {instance-type virtual-switch;interface ge-2/2/4.0;interface ge-2/2/6.0;interface xe-9/2/0;bridge-domains {bd1 {domain-type bridge;vlan-id 100;forwarding-options {dhcp-relay { # DHCP snoopinggroup hdhcp {interface ge-2/2/4.0;interface ge-2/2/6.0;}}}}}}

You verify your configuration by using two related commands:

show dhcp relay binding routing-instance vs1 bridge-domains bd1
show dhcp relay binding routing-instance vs1 bridge-domains bd1 detail

user@router1> show dhcp relay binding routing-instance
vs1 bridge-domains bd1
