5.1.3 DHCP Snooping Support for Option 82
Option 82 records the location information of the DHCP client. The administrator can
locate the DHCP client to further implement security control and accounting. For more
information, refer to
Relay agent option (Option 82)
.
If DHCP snooping supports Option 82, it will handle a client’s request according to the
contents defined in Option 82, if any. The handling strategies are described in the table
below.
If a reply returned by the DHCP server contains Option 82, the DHCP snooping device
will remove the Option 82 before forwarding the reply to the client. If the reply contains
no Option 82, it forwards it directly.
