Command Usage
• DHCP provides a relay mechanism for sending information about the switch
and its DHCP clients to the DHCP server. Known as DHCP Option 82, it
allows compatible DHCP servers to use the information when assigning IP
addresses, or to set other services or policies for clients.
• When the DHCP Snooping Information Option is enabled, clients can be
identified by the switch port to which they are connected rather than just their
MAC address. DHCP client-server exchange messages are then forwarded
directly between the server and client without having to flood them to the
entire VLAN.
•
DHCP snooping must be enabled on the switch for the DHCP Option 82
information to be inserted into packets.
Example
This example enables the DHCP Snooping Information Option.
