multiple DHCP relays

Hi all,

 

Fortinet Support has just informed me that there is no option to add a second DHCP relay server to the interface config. I just want to ask the community if they agree?

 

config system interface
    edit "lan"
        set vdom "root"
        set dhcp-relay-service enable
        set ip 10.90.52.1 255.255.255.0
        set allowaccess ping https ssh snmp http fgfm capwap
        set type hard-switch
        set stp enable
        set role lan
        set snmp-index 4
        set dhcp-relay-ip "10.90.2.92" 
    next
end

 

I would like a second IP address in the set dhcp-relay-ip.

 

We are setting up a DHCP Failover as we are having a scheduled power maintenance in our head office which means the main DHCP server will be out of action for a few hours.

    Hi,

     

    you can add more than one DHCP relay by simply specify another one:

    config system interface

    edit lan

    set dhcp-relay-ip "10.90.2.92" "10.90.2.xx"

    end
