No idea about the GUI (we rarely if ever use it here), but it's certainly doable with the CLI. Just add multiple relays with the ip dhcp-relay create-fwd-path command. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that WPI Senior Network Engineer | is simple, elegant, and wrong. - HL Mencken GPG fingerprint = 6174 1257 129E 0D21 D8D4 E8A3 8E39 29E3 E2E8 8CEC | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options It can be done via the GUI as well. Pretty straight forward. Under IP
