3Com 4200G 24-Port - Configuring DHCP Relay Agent Security Functions

2-5
z You can configure up to eight DHCP server IP addresses in a DHCP server group.
z You can map multiple VLAN interfaces to one DHCP server group. But one VLAN interface can be
mapped to only one DHCP server group.
z If you execute the dhcp-server groupNo command repeatedly, the new configuration overwrites
the previous one.
z You need to configure the group number specified in the dhcp-server groupNo command in VLAN
interface view by using the command dhcp-server groupNo ip ip-address&<1-8> in advance.
Configuring DHCP Relay Agent Security Functions
Configuring address checking
After relaying an IP address from the DHCP server to a DHCP client, the DHCP relay agent can
automatically record the client’s IP-to-MAC binding and generate a dynamic address entry. It also
supports static bindings, which means you can manually configure IP-to-MAC bindings on the DHCP
relay agent, so that users can access external network using fixed IP addresses.
The purpose of the address checking function on DHCP relay agent is to prevent unauthorized users
from statically configuring IP addresses to access external networks. With this function enabled, a
DHCP relay agent inhibits a user from accessing external networks if the IP address configured on the
user end and the MAC address of the user end do not match any entries (including the entries
dynamically tracked by the DHCP relay agent and the manually configured static entries) in the user
address table on the DHCP relay agent.
