Command History
Usage Guidelines By default, MAC address verification with DHCP snooping is not enabled.
To use this command, you must enable the DHCP snooping feature using the feature dhcp command.
If the device receives a packet on an untrusted interface and the source MAC address and the DHCP 
client hardware address do not match, address verification causes the device to drop the packet.
Examples This example shows how to enable DHCP snooping for MAC address verification:
switch# configure terminal 
switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping verify mac-address 
switch(config)#
