including IP addresses, MAC addresses, and CVLANs, before sending the packets to clients. For more information, see Layer 2-LAN Switching Configuration Guide. Application environment of trusted ports Configuring a trusted port connected to a DHCP server As shown in Figure 32, the DHCP snooping device port that is connected to an authorized DHCP server should be configured as a trusted port. The trusted port forwards reply messages from the authorized DHCP server to the client, but the untrusted port does not forward reply messages from the unauthorized DHCP server. This ensures that the DHCP client obtains an IP address from the authorized DHCP server.

To save system resources, you can disable the trusted ports, which are indirectly connected to DHCP clients, from recording client IP-to-MAC bindings upon receiving DHCP requests. 49
