Explanation

DHCP Relay Agent Functionality: A DHCP relay agent forwards DHCP packets between clients and servers located in different subnets. It modifies the packet headers to ensure proper delivery: Converts broadcast packets from clients into unicast packets to forward them to the DHCP server. Converts unicast responses from the DHCP server back into broadcast packets for delivery to clients. The DHCP relay agent performs bidirectional conversion between broadcast and unicast packets to facilitate communication between clients and servers in different subnets.
