no action
Context config>service>vprn>if>dhcp>option
Description This command configures the processing required when the 7705 SAR receives a DHCP request that 
already has a Relay Agent Information Option (Option 82) field in the packet.
The no form of this command returns the system to the default value.
Default keep (as per RFC 3046, DHCP Relay Agent Information Option, section 2.1.1, Reforwarded DHCP 
requests, the default is to keep the existing information intact. The exception to this occurs if the 
gi-addr (gateway interface address) of the received packet is the same as the ingress address on the 
router. In this case, the packet is dropped and an error is logged.)
Parameters replace — in the upstream direction (from the user), the existing Option 82 field is replaced with the 
Option 82 field from the router. In the downstream direction (towards the user) the Option 82 
field is stripped (in accordance with RFC 3046).
drop — the packet is dropped, and an error is logged
