If the configuration of either VLAN Info or Port Info causes the total string length of <VLAN
Info>-<Port Info>
to exceed 32 bytes, then it is truncated to 32 bytes. The string is not NULL
terminated, since the total circuit ID length is being specified.
For a DHCP client packet ingressing on a VLAN with the VLAN ID equal to 200 and the
ingress port at 3:5, the following are true:
• When neither VLAN Info or Port Info is specified, circuit ID value is = 200-3005
• When VLAN Info is configured to SomeInfo and Port Info is not specified, the circuit ID
value is
SomeInfo-3005
• When VLAN Info is not specified and Port Info is configured to User1, the circuit ID value
is
200-User1
• When VLAN Info is configured to SomeInfo and Port Info to User1, the circuit ID value is
SomeInfo-User1
VLAN Info is configurable per VLAN. When not explicitly configured for a VLAN, VLAN Info
defaults to the ASCII string representation of the ingress VLAN ID. To configure the circuit ID
on a VLAN, use the following command:
configure ip-security dhcp-snooping information circuit-id vlan-information
To unconfigure the circuit ID on a VLAN, use the following command:
unconfigure ip-security dhcp-snooping information circuit-id vlan-information
Port Info is configurable. When not explicitly configured for a port, port info defaults to the
ASCII representation of the ingress port’s SNMP ifIndex. To configure the port information
portion of the circuit-ID, use the following command:
configure ip-security dhcp-snooping information circuit-id port-information
port
To unconfigure the port information portion of the circuit-ID, use the following command:
unconfigure ip-security dhcp-snooping information circuit-id port-information
ports
Note: When this feature is enabled, all DHCP traffic must be forwarded in
slowpath only, which means that this feature functions only in the
context of IP Security and only on interfaces where DHCP snooping
is enabled in enforcement (violation-action of ‘drop’) mode, in other
words with DHCP snooping not configured with a violation-action of
‘none’ (which is pure monitoring mode).

Agent Option (Option 82) at Layer 3 on page 627.
