To use the router as the VRRP owner, if you enable a DHCP client on an interface that is added to a VRRP group, assign a priority
less than 255 but higher than any other priority assigned in the group.
Configure the System for User Port Stacking (Option 230)
Set the stacking-option variable to provide stack-port detail on the DHCP server when you set the DHCP offer. A stack can be
formed when the units are connected.
Option 230 is the option for user port stacking. Use it to create up to eight stack groups. Define the configuration parameters on the
DHCP server for each chassis based on the chassis MAC address. Configure the following parameters:
• unit number
• priority
• stack group ID
The received stacking configuration is always applied on the master stack unit.
option #230 "unit-number:3#priority:2#stack-group:14"
Configure Secure DHCP
DHCP as defined by RFC 2131 provides no authentication or security mechanisms. Secure DHCP is a suite of features that protects
networks that use dynamic address allocation from spoofing and attacks.
• Option 82
• DHCP Snooping
• Dynamic ARP Inspection
• Source Address Validation
Option 82
RFC 3046 (the relay agent information option, or Option 82) is used for class-based IP address assignment.
The code for the relay agent information option is 82, and is comprised of two sub-options, circuit ID and remote ID.
Circuit ID This is the interface on which the client-originated message is received.
Remote ID This identifies the host from which the message is received. The value of this sub-option is the MAC
address of the relay agent that adds Option 82.
The DHCP relay agent inserts Option 82 before forwarding DHCP packets to the server. The server can use this information to:
• track the number of address requests per relay agent. Restricting the number of addresses available per relay agent can harden a
server against address exhaustion attacks.
• associate client MAC addresses with a relay agent to prevent offering an IP address to a client spoofing the same MAC address
on a different relay agent.
• assign IP addresses according to the relay agent. This prevents generating DHCP offers in response to requests from an
unauthorized relay agent.
The server echoes the option back to the relay agent in its response, and the relay agent can use the information in the option to
forward a reply out the interface on which the request was received rather than flooding it on the entire VLAN.
The relay agent strips Option 82 from DHCP responses before forwarding them to the client.
To insert Option 82 into DHCP packets, follow this step.
• Insert Option 82 into DHCP packets.
