address field of the frame. If they are the same, the DHCP relay agent decides this request as valid and forwards it to the DHCP server. If not, it discards the DHCP request. To enable MAC address check: Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Enter interface view. 3. Enable MAC address check. Command system-view interface interface-type interface-number dhcp relay check mac-address Remarks N/A N/A Disabled by default NOTE: DHCP relay agents change the source MAC addresses when forwarding DHCP packets. Therefore, you can enable MAC address check only on a DHCP relay agent directly connected to DHCP clients. Otherwise, valid DHCP packets may be discarded and clients cannot obtain IP addresses. Enabling offline detection The DHCP relay agent checks whether a user is online by learning the ARP entry. When an ARP entry is aged out, the corresponding client is considered to be offline. With this function enabled on an interface, the DHCP relay agent removes a client's IP-to-MAC entry when it is aged out, and sends a DHCP-RELEASE message to the DHCP server to release the IP address of the client. Removing an ARP entry manually does not remove the corresponding client's IP-to-MAC binding. When the client goes offline, use the undo dhcp relay security command to remove the IP-to-MAC binding manually. To enable offline detection: Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Enter interface view. 3. Enable offline detection. Command system-view interface interface-type interface-number dhcp relay client-detect enable Remarks N/A N/A Disabled by default Configuring the DHCP relay agent to release an IP address You can configure the relay agent to release a client's IP address. The relay agent sends a DHCP-RELEASE message that contains the IP address. Upon receiving the DHCP-RELEASE message, the DHCP server releases the IP address. Meanwhile, the client entry is removed from the DHCP relay agent. Dynamic client entries can be generated after you enable address check or IP source guard on the DHCP relay agent. For more information about IP source guard, see Security Configuration Guide. To configure the DHCP relay agent to send DHCP-RELEASE messages: 40
