Notes

Note

  • A DHCP relay label contains a name for the label, the scope, and a DHCP option policy. The scope is the owner of the relay server and the DHCP option policy supplies DHCP clients with configuration parameters such as domain, nameserver, and subnet router addresses.
  • The tenant and bd used must exist before using this module in your playbook. The cisco.aci.aci_tenant module and cisco.aci.aci_bd can be used for these.
