Understanding DHCP Snooping

DHCP Relay Agent in a Metropolitan Ethernet Network
When you enable the DHCP snooping information option 82 on the switch, this sequence of
events occurs:
•
The host (DHCP client) generates a DHCP request and broadcasts it on the network.
•
When the switch receives the DHCP request, it adds the option-82 information in the packet. The
remote-ID suboption is the switch MAC address, and the circuit-ID suboption is the port identifier,
vlan-mod-port
, from which the packet is received.
•
If the IP address of the relay agent is configured, the switch adds this IP address in the DHCP packet.
•
The switch forwards the DHCP request that includes the option-82 field to the DHCP server.
•
The DHCP server receives the packet. If the server is option-82-capable, it can use the remote ID,
the circuit ID, or both to assign IP addresses and implement policies, such as restricting the number
of IP addresses that can be assigned to a single remote ID or circuit ID. Then the DHCP server
echoes the option-82 field in the DHCP reply.
•
The DHCP server unicasts the reply to the switch if the request was relayed to the server by the
switch. The switch verifies that it originally inserted the option-82 data by inspecting the remote ID
and possibly the circuit ID fields. The switch removes the option-82 field and forwards the packet
to the switch port that connects to the DHCP client that sent the DHCP request.
When the described sequence of events occurs, the values in these fields in
Figure 23-2
do not change:
•
