I don't have any experience running dhcrelay - all my relay agents are
BRAS type routers. However, the manual page for dhcrelay says this
about option 82:
-a Append an agent option field to each request before forwarding
it to the server. Agent option fields in responses sent from
servers to clients will be stripped before forwarding such
responses back to the client. The agent option field will con-
tain two agent options: the Circuit ID suboption and the Remote
ID suboption. Currently, the Circuit ID will be the printable
name of the interface on which the client request was received.
The client supports inclusion of a Remote ID suboption as well,
but this is not used by default.
