irule that would relay a DHCP request to a server on a different subnet?

To clarify this a little bit more. What is going on is if a machine boots up looking for a DHCP IP, the server is on a different subnet so what I'm wanting to do basically is once the F5 see's the broadcast on port udp 67 it would just forward it to the back end server.

 

Hi Phil,

 

 

I don't think this is possible currently. There has been some internal movement with it though. You could open a case with F5 Support to get more info on ID 248083.

 

 

Here's the most recent thread I could find on it:

Perhaps I am making a bad assumption, but you could configure that on your Cisco equipment (assuming you utilize Cisco), until the BIG-IP is given that ability.

 

 

It is called a Cisco DHCP Relay Agent.

LTM now supports DHCP relay in 11.1:

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Relay

 

In this release, the BIG-IP system introduces the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Relay virtual server, providing the ability to proxy DHCP requests between VLANs.
