Extended format of the remote ID sub-option
In practice, some network devices do not support the type and length identifiers of the
Circuit ID and Remote ID sub-options. To interwork with these devices, S3100-EI
Series Ethernet Switches support Option 82 in the standard format. Refer to
Figure 2-4
and
Figure 2-5
for the standard format of the sub-options (with the default padding
contents). In the standard format, the Circuit ID or Remote ID sub-option does not
contain the two-byte type and length fields of the circuit ID or remote ID.

III. Mechanism of DHCP-snooping Option 82
With DHCP snooping and DHCP-snooping Option 82 support enabled, when the
DHCP snooping device receives a DHCP client’s request containing Option 82, it will
handle the packet according to the handling policy and the configured contents in
sub-options. For details, see
Table 2-1
