DHCP snooping support for Option 82
Option 82 records the location information of the DHCP client so the administrator can locate the DHCP
client for security control and accounting purposes. For more information, see the chapter “DHCP relay
agent configuration.”
If DHCP snooping supports Option 82, it handles a client’s request according to the contents defined in
Option 82, if any. The handling strategies are described in
.
If a reply returned by the DHCP server contains Option 82, the DHCP snooping device removes the
Option 82 before forwarding the reply to the client. If the reply contains no Option 82, the DHCP
snooping device forwards it directly.
