How to run DHCP relay in Linux, Command to run dhcrelay in Linux .

I was working on dhcp relay in Linux and came to know following things: 
 
 We cannot run the command giving only one interface , either it has to be all or none. 
 
So it can be like 

dhcrelay –d serverip

or 

dhcrelay –d –i eth0 -i eth1 serverip 
 
 
Basically all the interfaces, including the one on which the server is connected, 
is to be specified in the command .If we give only one interface it will 
silently discard the packet. 

Please see below bug for more information.
