48-port switches re-added the entry, sometimes they associated it with the

a call was established between two SIP phones on the private side of the firewall

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and one of the phones attempted to update the session information, the call

contained option 82, it modified the option 82 information of packets even

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

when their giaddr field was set to a non-zero value. The router or switch applied

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the policy specified by the command:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

set bootp relay option82 policy={dropkeepreplace}

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This issue has been resolved. As required by RFC 3046, the router or switch now

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

forwards client DHCP packets that have a non-zero giaddr field without

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

modifying their option 82 fields.
