Chapter 42: DHCP Snooping Commands

IP DHCP VERIFY MAC-ADDRESS

Syntax

ip dhcp verify mac-address

Parameters

None

Mode

Global Configuration mode

Description

Use this command to verify that the source MAC address and client
hardware address match in DHCP packets received on untrusted ports.
By default, this command is enabled.

When MAC address verification is enabled, the switch treats DHCP
packets with source MAC address and client hardware addresses that do
not match as DHCP snooping violations. It drops them and applies any
other violation action specified by the IP DHCP SNOOPING VIOLATION
command. See “IP DHCP SNOOPING VIOLATION” on page 640.

Note

To bring the port up after any issues have been resolved, use the
NO SHUTDOWN command. See “NO SHUTDOWN” on page 219.

Use the no version of the command, NO IP DHCP SNOOPNG VERIFY
MAC-ADDRESS command, to disable source MAC address verification.
