 # Configure DHCP on L2 stretched VMware HCX networks
 
-DHCP doesn't work for virtual machines (VMs) on the VMware HCX L2 stretch network when the DHCP server is in the on-premises data center because the NSX-T Data Center, by default, blocks all DHCP requests from traversing the L2 stretch. Therefore, to send DHCP requests from your Azure VMware Solution VMs to a non-NSX-T Data Center DHCP server, you need to configure DHCP on L2 stretched VMware HCX networks.

+Configuring DHCP Relay in NSX is unnecessary while the network is stretched. Implementing DHCP relay on an extended network may lead to unintended issues, resulting in clients not receiving the correct responses. Following a failover to Azure VMware Solution, DHCP Relay or NSX DHCP server configuration would be necessary to continue serving clients effectively.
