Hi Jason,

 

Thanks for the reply. My forwarding information is correct, the F5 is inline and everything works without auto lasthop. However, when I use DHCP relay, I need to enable the auto lasthop on the VLAN where the DHCP requests are coming from. tcpdumps confirm this: I don't see the request begin send out the F5 as an unicast which ALH. Any thoughts on this?

 

Cheers,Vince
