Configuring Transparent Transmission of DHCPv4 Packets

You need to configure transparent transmission of DHCPv4 packets when STB users send only one DHCPv4 Discover packet after they restart.

Context

When a user shuts down the STB and then restarts it immediately, the NetEngine 8000 F cannot detect that the user goes offline and retains the user entry. When receiving the DHCPv4 Discover packet that the STB sends after restart, the NetEngine 8000 F forces the user to go offline and waits until the user sends a DHCPv4 Discover packet to obtain the address through DHCPv4.

Some STBs, however, send only one DHCPv4 Discover packet after they restart. In this case, the users cannot go online after shutting down their STBs.

You can configure the function to transparently transmit DHCPv4 packets to solve this problem.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run dhcp through-packet

    The function to transparently transmit DHCPv4 packets is configured.

  3. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
