Explanation
The IP helper address (or DHCP relay) is crucial when the DHCP server is located in a different VLAN or subnet from the client requesting an IP address. If the IP helper address is not configured on the router or switch interface connected to the VLAN where the server resides, DHCP requests from the server will not reach the DHCP server, and thus the server will not receive an IP address.
