DHCP snooping support for Option 82

Option 82 records the location information about the DHCP client so the administrator can locate the DHCP client for security and accounting purposes. For more information, see "Option 82."

DHCP snooping uses the same strategies as the DHCP relay agent to handle Option 82 for DHCP request messages, as shown in Table 99. If a response returned by the DHCP server contains Option 82, DHCP snooping removes Option 82 before forwarding the response to the client. If the response contains no Option 82, DHCP snooping forwards it directly.

You need to specify the ports connected to the authorized DHCP servers as

 

trusted to make sure DHCP clients can obtain valid IP addresses. The trusted

 

port and the port connected to the DHCP client must be in the same VLAN.
