DHCPv6 Snooping

■
If yes, continue to C.
■
If not, continue to B.
■
Check if IPv6 address in IA option is found in binding cache:
■
If yes, continue to C.
■
If not, check failed, and forward packet to trusted port.
B. Check status code in IA option:
■
If successful, and entry is in binding table, update lease time
and forward to original destination.
■
If successful, and entry is in binding cache, move entry from
binding cache to binding table, update lease time and forward
to original destination.
■
Otherwise, remove binding entry. and check failed.
■
If a DHCPv6 Relay packet is received, check the relay message
option in Relay-Forward or Relay-Reply packet, and process
client and server packets as described above.
◆ If DHCPv6 snooping is globally disabled, all dynamic bindings are removed
from the binding table.
◆ Additional considerations when the switch itself is a DHCPv6 client – The port(s)
through which the switch submits a client request to the DHCPv6 server must
be configured as trusted. Note that the switch will not add a dynamic entry for
itself to the binding table when it receives an ACK message from a DHCPv6
server. Also, when the switch sends out DHCPv6 client packets for itself, no
filtering takes place. However, when the switch receives any messages from a
DHCPv6 server, any packets received from untrusted ports are dropped.
DHCPv6 Snooping
Global Configuration
Use the Security > DHCP Snooping6 (Configure Global) page to enable DHCPv6
Snooping globally on the switch, or to configure MAC Address Verification.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
◆ DHCPv6 Snooping Status – Enables DHCPv6 snooping globally.
(Default: Disabled)
◆ DHCPv6 Snooping Option Remote ID – Enables the insertion of remote-id
option 37 information into DHCPv6 client messages. Remote-id option
information such as the port attached to the client, DUID, and VLAN ID is used
