DESCRIPTION

Server Ports

Select the ports that are connected to DHCP servers or other

the rate at which DHCP packets arrive is too high.

 

Untrusted ports are connected to subscribers, and the Switch

ACK, or NACK).

 

• The source MAC address and source IP address in the packet

 

do not match any of the current bindings.

bindings.

 

• The rate at which DHCP packets arrive is too high.
