DES-3028 DES-3028P DES-3028G DES-3052 DES-3052P Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Managed Switch check and policy settings will have no effect. DHCP Relay Agent Information Option 82 Check This field can be toggled between Enabled and Disabled using the pull-down menu. It is used to enable or disable the Switches ability to check the validity of the packet's option 82 field. Enabled - 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. Disabled - When the field is toggled to Disabled, the relay agent will not check the validity of the packet's option 82 field. DHCP Relay Agent Information Option 82 Policy This field can be toggled between Replace, Drop, and Keep by using the pull-down menu. It is used to set the Switches policy for handling packets when the DHCP Agent Information Option 82 Check is set to Disabled. The default is Replace. Replace - The option 82 field will be replaced if the option 82 field already exists in the packet received from the DHCP client. Drop - The packet will be dropped if the option 82 field already exists in the packet received from the DHCP client. Keep -The option 82 field will be retained if the option 82 field already exists in the packet received from the DHCP client. DHCP Relay Agent Information Option 82 Remote ID This field specifies the feature which allows the user to configure the Remote ID as any specific string. When the Remote ID state is set to Default, the switch's system MAC address is used as the Remote ID. When the Remote ID state is configured to be userdefined, the user-defined string is used as the Remote ID. Note: The maximum number of characters that can be used is 32. Click Apply to implement any changes that have been made. NOTE: If the Switch receives a packet that contains the option-82 field from a DHCP client and the information-checking feature is enabled, the switch drops the packet because it is invalid. However, in some instances, you might configure a client with the option-82 field. In this situation, you should disable the information-check feature so that the switch does not remove the option-82 field from the packet. You can configure the action that the switch takes when it receives a packet with existing option-82 information by configuring the DHCP Agent Information Option 82 Policy. 36
