DHCP Helper
Is there a way to setup a DHCP Helper address or DHCP relay address on a PowerConnect 3348? DHCP renewals area extremely slow when connecting to a 3348. I'm just trying to speed up the process.

There is no DHCP helper/relay function on the 3300 series switches. They are simply Layer 2 devices, so they simply flood broadcasts to all active ports.
If you are having problems with systems receiving DHCP addresses during boot, you may need to enable "edgeport" on the ports connected to the problematic systems. This basically disables Spanning Tree on the port and allows it to go directly to a forwarding state.
