DHCP Snooping Support for Option 82
Option 82 records the location information of the DHCP client. The administrator can locate the DHCP
client to further implement security control and accounting. For more information, refer to
Introduction to
Option 82
.
If DHCP snooping supports Option 82, it will handle a client’s request according to the contents defined
in Option 82, if any. The handling strategies are described in the table below.
If a reply returned by the DHCP server contains Option 82, the DHCP snooping device will remove the
Option 82 before forwarding the reply to the client. If the reply contains no Option 82, the DHCP
snooping device forwards it directly.

Required
Specify an interface as trusted and configure DHCP snooping to support
Option 82.
By default, an interface is untrusted and DHCP snooping does not support
Option 82.
You need to specify the ports connected to the authorized DHCP servers as
trusted to ensure that DHCP clients can obtain valid IP addresses. The trusted
port and the port connected to the DHCP client must be in the same VLAN.
