A DHCP relay agent (also known as a DHCP relay or IP helper) is a router service that forwards Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) messages between clients and servers on different subnets. DHCP relay agents are commonly used in large networks that are segmented into multiple subnets, as they allow clients to receive IP addresses from a DHCP server located on a different subnet.
