LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Active

Select this to enable DHCP snooping on the Switch. You still have to enable DHCP

 

snooping on specific VLAN and specify trusted ports.

 

Note: The Switch will drop all DHCP requests if you enable DHCP snooping and there are

 

no trusted ports.

 

 

DHCP Vlan

Select a VLAN ID if you want the Switch to forward DHCP packets to DHCP servers on a

 

specific VLAN.

 

Note: You have to enable DHCP snooping on the DHCP VLAN too.

 

You can enable Option82 in the DHCP Snooping VLAN Configure screen (Section

 

26.5.2 on page 226) to help the DHCP servers distinguish between DHCP requests from

 

different VLAN.

 

Select Disable if you do not want the Switch to forward DHCP packets to a specific

 

VLAN.

 

 

Database

If Timeout interval is greater than Write delay interval, it is possible that the next

 

update is scheduled to occur before the current update has finished successfully or

 

timed out. In this case, the Switch waits to start the next update until it completes the

 

current one.

 

 

Agent URL

Enter the location of the DHCP snooping database. The location should be expressed

 

like this: tftp://{domain name or IP address}/directory, if applicable/file

 

name; for example, tftp://192.168.10.1/database.txt.

 

 

Timeout interval

Enter how long (10-65535 seconds) the Switch tries to complete a specific update in

 

the DHCP snooping database before it gives up.

 

 

Write delayEnter how long (10-65535 seconds) the Switch waits to update the DHCP snooping
interval

database the first time the current bindings change after an update. Once the next

 

update is scheduled, additional changes in current bindings are automatically included

 

in the next update.
