DHCPv6 Snooping
– 325 –
■
If an incoming packet is a DHCPv6 request packet with option 37
information, it will modify the option 37 information according to settings
specified with
ipv6 dhcp snooping option remote-id policy command.
■
If an incoming packet is a DHCPv6 request packet without option 37
information, enabling the DHCPv6 snooping information option will add
option 37 information to the packet.
■
If an incoming packet is a DHCPv6 reply packet with option 37 information,
enabling the DHCPv6 snooping information option will remove option 37
information from the packet.
◆
When this switch inserts Option 37 information in DHCPv6 client request
packets, the switch’s MAC address (hexadecimal) is used for the remote ID.
Example
This example enables the DHCPv6 Snooping Remote-ID Option.
Console(config)#ipv6 dhcp snooping option remote-id
Console(config)#
ipv6 dhcp snooping
option remote-id
policy
This command sets the remote-id option policy for DHCPv6 client packets that
include Option 37 information. Use the
no form to disable this function.
Syntax
ipv6 dhcp snooping option remote-id policy { drop | keep | replace }
no ipv6 dhcp snooping option remote-id policy
drop - Drops the client’s request packet instead of relaying it.
keep - Retains the Option 37 information in the client request, and
forwards the packets to trusted ports.
replace - Replaces the Option 37 remote-ID in the client’s request with the
relay agent’s remote-ID (when DHCPv6 snooping is enabled), and forwards
the packets to trusted ports.
Default Setting
drop
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
When the switch receives DHCPv6 packets from clients that already include DHCP
Option 37 information, the switch can be configured to set the action policy for
these packets. The switch can either drop the DHCPv6 packets, keep the existing
information, or replace it with the switch’s relay agent information.
