4.7.11 IPv4 DHCP Snooping
4.7.11.1 Global Configuration
Security > IPv4 DHCP Snooping > Global Configuration page is used to enable DHCP Snooping globally on the switch, or to
configure MAC Address Verification.
DHCP Snooping Status Enables DHCP snooping globally. (Default: Disabled)
DHCP Snooping MAC-Address VerificationEnables or disables MAC address verification. If the source MAC
address in the Ethernet header of the packet is not same as the client's hardware address in the DHCP packet, the packet
is dropped. (Default: Enabled)
DHCP Snooping Rate Limit
– Sets the maximum number of DHCP packets that can be trapped by the switch for DHCP
snooping. (Range: 1-2048 packets/ second)
DHCP Snooping Information Option StatusEnables or disables DHCP Option 82 information relay. (Default:
Disabled)
DHCP Snooping Information Option Sub-option Format Enables or disables use of sub-type and sub-length fields in
circuit-ID (CID) and remote-ID (RID) in Option 82 information.
DHCP Snooping Information Option Remote IDSpecifies the MAC address, IP address, or arbitrary identifier of the
requesting device (i.e., the switch in this context).
MAC Address Inserts a MAC address in the remote ID sub-option for the DHCP snooping agent (i.e., the MAC
address of the switch’s CPU). This attribute can be encoded in Hexadecimal or ASCII.
IP Address Inserts an IP address in the remote ID sub-option for the DHCP snooping agent (i.e., the IP address
of the management interface). This attribute can be encoded in Hexadecimal or ASCII.
string - An arbitrary string inserted into the remote identifier field. (Range: 1-32 characters)
DHCP Snooping Information Option Remote ID TR101 VLAN Field
Adds“:VLAN” in TR101 field for untagged packets.
The format for TR101 option 82 is: “<IP> eth <SID>/<PORT>[:<VLAN>]”. Note that the SID (Switch ID) is always 0. By
default the PVID is added to the end of the TR101 field for untagged packets. For tagged packets, the VLAN ID is always
added.
DHCP Snooping Information Option Policy Specifies how to handle DHCP client request packets which already contain
Option 82 information.
Drop Drops the client’s request packet instead of relaying it.
Keep Retains the Option 82 information in the client request, and forwards the packets to trusted ports.
Replace Replaces the Option 82 information circuit-id and remote-id fields in the client’s request with information
about the relay agent itself, inserts the relay agent’s address (when DHCP snooping is enabled), and forwards the
packets to trusted ports. (This is the default policy.)
