ip dhcp snooping

To enable the L2 DHCP snooping in the switch globally or in the specific VLAN or DHCP MAC verification in the switch, use the command ip dhcp snooping in Global Configuration Mode. The no form of the command globally disables Layer 2 DHCP snooping in the switch or disables DHCP snooping in the specific VLAN. The DHCP snooping module will stop the protocol operation when the snooping is globally disabled.

ip dhcp snooping

ip dhcp snooping { [vlan } { <vlan-id (1-4094)> } { | verify } { mac-address] }

no ip dhcp snooping

no ip dhcp snooping { [vlan } { <vlan-id (1-4094)> } { | verify } { mac-address] }

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
vlan   Enter to configure L2 DHCP snooping in the specific VLAN. The DHCP snooping module will start the protocol operation when the snooping is enabled globally.
<vlan-id (1-4094)> Integer Enter a VLAN ID for the L2 DHCP snooping to be configured. This is a unique value that represents the specific VLAN created. This value ranges from 1 to 4094.
verify   Enter to enable globally DHCP MAC verification in the switch.
mac-address   Enter to start MAC Address verification. If the MAC verification status is enabled, DHCP snooping module will verify whether the source Mac address and client hardware Mac address are same. If they are same, packet will be processed further; else, it is dropped.

Mode

Global Configuration Mode

Default

DHCP MAC address verification is enabled.

Examples

iS5Comm(config)# ip dhcp snooping vlan 2

Note:

The example used and the ip dhcp snooping command used in the config-vlan mode serve the same purpose.

iS5Comm (config)# ip dhcp snooping verify mac-address
