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. |

Example usage:
To configure DHCP relay option 82 state:
Command: config dhcp_relay option_82 state enable
Success.
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. |
