A DHCP Relay Agent is a network device or software service that on DHCP dispatches between DHCP guests and DHCP servers across different subnets or network parts.
When a DHCP customer broadcasts a DHCP discover communication to gain an IP address parcel, the Relay Agent intercepts the broadcast and relays it to a DHCP garçon located on a different subnet.
The DHCP garçon also responds with a DHCP Offer and the Relay Agent the response back to the customer, enabling DHCP communication across routed networks.
