Chapter 19      Configuring DHCP Features
    Displaying DHCP Information
To disable DHCP snooping, use the no ip dhcp snooping global configuration command. To disable 
DHCP snooping on a VLAN or range of VLANs, use the no ip dhcp snooping vlan vlan-id global 
configuration command. To disable the insertion and removal of the option-82 field, use the no ip dhcp 
snooping information option global configuration command. To configure an aggregation switch to 
drop incoming DHCP snooping packets with option-82 information from an edge switch, use the no ip 
dhcp snooping information option allow-untrusted global configuration command.
This example shows how to enable DHCP snooping globally and on VLAN 10 and to configure a rate 
limit of 100 packets per second on Fast Ethernet port 0/1:
Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping
Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping vlan 10
Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping information option
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# ip dhcp snooping limit rate 100
Displaying DHCP Information
To display the DHCP snooping information, use one or more of the privileged EXEC commands in 
Table 19-2:
Step 8
ip dhcp snooping limit rate rate (Optional) Configure the number of DHCP packets per second than an 
interface can receive. The range is 1 to 4294967294. The default is no rate 
limit configured.
Note We recommend an untrusted rate limit of not more than 100 
packets per second. If you configure rate limiting for trusted 
interfaces, you might need to increase the rate limit if the port is 
a trunk port assigned to more than one VLAN on which DHCP 
snooping is enabled.
Step 9
exit Return to global configuration mode.
Step 10
 ip dhcp snooping verify mac-address (Optional) Configure the switch to verify that the source MAC address in 
a DHCP packet that is received on untrusted ports matches the client 
hardware address in the packet. The default is to verify that the source 
MAC address matches the client hardware address in the packet.
Step 11
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 12
show running-config Verify your entries.
Step 13
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Command Purpose
Table 19-2 Commands for Displaying DHCP Information
Command Purpose
show ip dhcp snooping Displays the DHCP snooping configuration for a switch
show ip dhcp snooping binding  Displays only the dynamically configured bindings in the DHCP snooping binding 
database.

1. If DHCP snooping is enabled and an interface changes to the down state, the switch does not delete the manually configured bindings.
