Opened: Jul 23, 2019

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

ID746077 changed the dhcprelay behavior in order to comply with RFC 1542 Clarifications and Extensions for BOOTP. However, as the change also encompasses the DHCP-to-DHCP relay scope, the behavior cannot be configurable with a db key.

Impact

You are unable to specify whether giaddr will be changed.

Conditions

DHCP Relay deployments where the giaddr needs to be changed.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

A new sys db tmm.dhcp.relay.giaddr.overwrite is introduced The default is : sys db tmm.dhcp.relay.giaddr.overwrite { value "enable" } On versions with a fix to 746077, the sys db DOES NOT exist and BIG-IP will always retain the source IP On versions with both this fix and ID748333 fix, this fix overrides the fix for 746077. To change the default, set to "disable" to retain
