DHCP relay agents on the client's link allow a DHCP client to send a message to a DHCP server that is not attached to the same link.
A client needs, first, to locate a DHCP server before requesting an IP address and other configuration information. It does so by sending a DHCP solicit message to the multicast address identified earlier. A server willing to answer the request answers with a DHCP advertise message.
