DHCP Relay Option (DOCSIS Option 82)
DOCSIS Option82 modifies DHCPDISCOVER packets to distinguish cable interfaces from the CPE devices
or “clients” behind them. The DOCSIS Option82 is comprised of the following two suboptions:
•
Suboption 1, Circuit ID:
Type 1 (1 byte)
Len 4 (1 byte)
Value (8 bytes)
<bit 31,30,....................0)
<xYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY>
where the MSB indicates if the attached device is a cable interface.
x=1 Cable Modem REQ
x=0 CPE device (Behind the cable interface with the cable interface MAC address shown in suboption 2.)
The rest of the bits make up the SNMP index to the CMTS interface.
Y=0xYYYYYYY is the SNMP index to the CMTS interface.
•
Suboption 2, MAC address of the cable interface:
Type 2 (1 byte)
Len 6 (1 byte)
Value xxxx.xxxx.xxxx (6 bytes)
