XS728T DHCP relay support?
I recently purchased a XS728T to replace an old Cisco 2950. After setting it up, I don't see a way to setup dhcp helper/forwarding on this switch. Am I missing something? My dhcp server is able to...

It's realY an oddity the XS708T, XS712Tv2, and XS716T for example have the DHCP Relay feature, while the MS510TX or XS728T/XS748T for example don't have it.

Thanks for the info! It's a nice switch, so it seems really strange that it wouldn't have that feature.
My LAN has ~15 vlans, so I really need this. Do you happen to know of any workarounds to get it working without getting a different switch?
I'm struggling to find another switch that has everything I need: 24 ethernet, minimum 2 SFPs, VLAN support and dhcp relay. Do you happen to know if Netgear has a switch with those capabilities in a similar price range?
Thanks again!

I was in the same position with my MS510TX and MS510TXPP switches. My solution was to buy a couple of CISCO CBS350 switches (considerably less expensive) and demoting the NETGEAR switches to the L2 position where they really belong to.

Thanks for suggesting the CBS350's! I think I'll have to make do with one of those for now. I was hoping to get something that supports 10G copper links for this network but, with our supply chain issues, it looks like that won't happen... Thanks again!
