MP-20x Telephone Adapter 14. Advanced Settings
14.7.2 DHCP Relay Parameters
Your MP-20x can act as a DHCP relay in case you would like to dynamically assign IP
addresses from a DHCP server other than your MP-20x's DHCP server. Note that when
selecting this option you must also change MP-20x's WAN to work in routing mode.
¾ To configure a device as a DHCP relay, perform the following steps:
1. In the 'IP Address Distribution' screen, click the Edit icon corresponding to the entry
that you want to edit; the DHCP Server settings for this device are displayed.
2. From the 'IP Address Distribution' drop-down list, select the 'DHCP Relay' option; the
'DHCP Settings' screen appears.

to work in routing mode, which is necessary in order for DHCP relaying to
function correctly.
