General Guidelines

Here is a summary of the rules to observe when you configure DHCP
Snooping:

A trusted port is connect to one of the following:

Directly to the legitimate trusted DHCP Server.

A network device relaying DHCP messages to

and from a trusted server.

Another trusted source such as a switch with

DHCP Snooping enabled.

Untrusted ports are connected to DHCP clients and to traffic that
originates outside of the local area network.

The VLANs to which the DHCP Snooping feature applies must be
specified in the DHCP Snooping VLAN Setting configuration.

Any static IP addresses on the network must be manually added to
the Binding Database.
