Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) Group provides the capability to specify multiple DHCP servers as a group on the DHCP relay agent and to correlate a relay agent interface with the server group.

This feature helps one configure the DHCP IPv4 and IPv6 groups and attach server IP addresses to the group. Creating a maximum of 32 IPv4 and 32 IPv6 groups per VRF is allowed, and configuring eight DHCP servers is permitted for each DHCP server group.

The DHCP relay agent forwards the request message from the DHCP client to multiple DHCP servers in the group. Forwarding the request message to multiple DHCP servers increases the reliability of obtaining network configuration information.

For more information, refer to the DHCP Server Group section in the OcNOS Key Feature document, Release 6.4.1.
