xStack DES-6500 Modular Layer 3 Chassis Ethernet Switch CLI Manual

config dhcp_relay option_82 state

Purpose

Used to configure the state of DHCP relay agent information option 82 of

 

the switch.

Syntax

config dhcp_relay option_82 state [enable disable]

Description

This command is used to configure the state of DHCP relay agent

 

information option 82 of the switch.

Parameters

enable - When enabled, the relay agent will insert and remove DHCP

 

relay information (option 82 field) in messages between DHCP servers

 

and clients. When the relay agent receives the DHCP request, it adds

 

the option 82 information, and the IP address of the relay agent (if the

 

relay agent is configured), to the packet. Once the option 82 information

 

has been added to the packet it is sent on to the DHCP server. When

 

the DHCP server receives the packet and is capable of option 82, it can

 

implement policies like 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 packet. The DHCP server

 

unicasts the reply to the back to the relay agent, if the request was

 

relayed to the server by the relay agent. The Switch verifies that it

 

originally inserted the option 82 data. Finally, the relay agent removes

 

the option 82 field and forwards the packet to the switch port that is

 

connected to the DHCP client that sent the DHCP request.

 

disable - If disabled the relay agent will not insert and remove DHCP

 

relay information (option 82 field) in messages between DHCP servers

 

and clients. In addition, the check and policy settings will have no effect.

Restrictions

Only administrator-level users can issue this command.

 

 

Example usage:

To configure DHCP relay option 82 state:

DES-6500:4#config dhcp_relay option_82 state enable

Command: config dhcp_relay option_82 state enable

Success.

DES-6500:4#

config dhcp_relay option_82 check

Purpose

Used to configure the checking mechanism of DHCP relay agent

 

information option 82 of the switch.

Syntax

config dhcp_relay option_82 check [enable disable]

Description

This command is used to configure the checking mechanism of

 

DHCP/BOOTP relay agent information option 82 of the Switch.

Parameters

enable – When the field is toggled to enable, the relay agent will check

 

the validity of the packet’s option 82 field. If the Switch receives a packet

 

that contains the option 82 field from a DHCP client, the Switch drops the

 

packet because it is invalid. In packets received from DHCP servers, the

 

relay agent will drop invalid messages.

 

disable - When the field is toggled to disable, the relay agent will not

 

check the validity of the packet’s option 82 field.

Restrictions

Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
