Interface-level "dhcp relay destination" command issues
I have determined the interface-level "dhcp relay destination dhcp-svr " command does not forward packets from a VLAN subinterface. This is on a Netvanta 3450 router running R10.3.0.
The commands I used that are not forwarding DHCP requests:
interface eth 0/2
encapsulation 802.1q
no shutdown
!
interface eth 0/2.2
vlan-id 1235
ip address 172.30.21.1 255.255.255.0
ip dhcp relay destination 172.16.21.252
no shutdown
!
Working commands I found from the Configuring UDP Relay document:
ip forward-protocol udp bootps
interface eth 0/2
encapsulation 802.1q
no shutdown
!
interface eth 0/2.2
vlan-id 1235
ip address 172.30.21.1 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 172.16.21.252
no shutdown
Is this a software bug?

Re: Interface-level "dhcp relay destination" command issues
Thank you for asking this question in the support community. I tested this on a newer AOS and it appeared to work properly. Have you had a chance to try this on a newer version of firmware (R10.3.2 or R10.5.0)?
Please, let me know the results when you get a chance to upgrade firmware and test again.

I will attempt to test in a maintenance window in the next week or so.
