Configuring DHCP snooping
DHCP snooping works between the DHCP client and server, or between the DHCP client and DHCP
relay agent. It guarantees that DHCP clients obtain IP addresses from authorized DHCP servers. Also, it
records IP-to-MAC bindings of DHCP clients (called DHCP snooping entries) for security purposes.
DHCP snooping does not work between the DHCP server and DHCP relay agent.
Overview
DHCP snooping defines trusted and untrusted ports to make sure clients obtain IP addresses only from
authorized DHCP servers.
•
Trusted
—A trusted port can forward DHCP messages correctly to make sure the clients get IP
addresses from authorized DHCP servers.
•
Untrusted
—An untrusted port discards received DHCP-ACK and DHCP-OFFER messages to prevent
unauthorized servers from assigning IP addresses.
DHCP snooping reads DHCP-ACK messages received from trusted ports and DHCP-REQUEST messages
to create DHCP snooping entries. A DHCP snooping entry includes the MAC and IP addresses of a client,
the port that connects to the DHCP client, and the VLAN.
The following features need to use DHCP snooping entries:
•
ARP fast-reply
—Uses DHCP snooping entries to reduce ARP broadcast traffic. For more information,
see "Configuring ARP fast-reply."
•
ARP
detection
—Uses DHCP snooping entries to filter ARP packets from unauthorized clients. For
more information, see
Security Configuration
Guide.
•
MAC
-
forced
forwarding
(
MFF
)—Auto-mode MFF intercepts ARP requests from clients, uses DHCP
snooping entries to find the gateway address, and returns the gateway MAC address to the clients.
This feature forces the client to send all traffic to the gateway so that the gateway can monitor client
traffic to prevent malicious attacks among clients. For more information, see
Security Configuration
Guide
.
•
IP
source
guard
—Uses DHCP snooping entries to filter illegal packets on a per-port basis. For more
information, see
Security Configuration
Guide
.
•
VLAN
mapping
—Uses DHCP snooping entries to replace service provider VLAN in packets with
customer VLAN before sending the packets to clients. For more information, see
Layer 2

Application of trusted and untrusted ports
Configure ports facing the DHCP server as trusted ports, and configure other ports as untrusted ports.
As shown in
, configure the DHCP snooping device's port that is connected to the DHCP server
as a trusted port. The trusted port forwards response messages from the DHCP server to the client. The
untrusted port connected to the unauthorized DHCP server discards incoming DHCP response messages.
