Hi

Configure ip helper-address under the interface of the router from where you want to forward the DHCP requests.the helper address should be of the dhcp server.

Thanks

Hi Navneet,

You need to use "ip helper-address" command specifying the ip address of the dhcp server on the interfaces from which you want to forward the DHCP request.

To enable the forwarding of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) broadcasts, including BOOTP, received on an interface, use the ip helper-address command in interface configuration mode.

To read more about this command have a look at this link
