N o t e

If a lease database is configured, the switch drops all DHCP packets until the

 

lease database is read. This only occurs when the switch reboots and is

 

completed quickly. If the switch is unable to read the lease database from the

 

tftp server, it waits until that operation times out and then begins forwarding

 

DHCP packets.

 

 

Enabling Debug Logging

To enable debug logging for DHCP snooping, use this command.

Syntax: [no] debug dhcp-snooping [agent event packet]

agent Displays DHCP snooping agent messages.

event Displays DHCP snooping event messages.

packet Displays DHCP snooping packet messages.

Operational Notes

DHCP is not configurable from the web management interface or menu interface.

If packets are received at too high a rate, some may be dropped and need to be re-transmitted.
