Filtering DHCP Offer Packets
You can filter DHCP Offer packets received from host to prevent the hosts from being assigned
invalid IP address by another host’s private DHCP server.
If a host connected to the Corecess R1-SW24L2B runs a private DHCP server, other hosts
connected to the Corecess R1-SW24L2B may receive an invalid IP address from that private
DHCP server. To prevent this, you can filter DHCP Offer packets received from a host.
To discard the all DHCP OFFER packets, enter the following command in Global configuration
