Configure DHCP-relay on Cisco ASA
The Cisco ASA support dhcp-relay function. The below lab is demonstrated on GNS3, ASA version is ASAv961

4.Debugging
on DHCP server: # debug ip dhcp server packet
show ip dhcp binding # clear ip dhcp binding * # show ip dhcp server statics
on ASA relay-agent: # debug dhcprelay event
debug dhcprelay packetOutput
