Default Configuration for DHCP Snooping
DHCP snooping is disabled by default. Table 53-1 shows all the default configuration values for each
DHCP snooping option.
If you want to change the default configuration values, see the “Enabling DHCP Snooping” section.
Enabling DHCP Snooping
Note When DHCP snooping is enabled globally, DHCP requests are dropped until the ports are configured.
Consequently, you should probably configure this feature during a maintenance window and not during
production.
