The config dhcp_relay option_82 command configures the DHCP relay agent information option 82 setting of the switch. The
formats for the circuit ID sub-option and the remote ID sub-option are as follows:
NOTE: For the circuit ID sub-option of a standalone switch, the module field is always zero.
Circuit ID sub-option format:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
1 6 0 4 VLAN Module Port
1 byte 1 byte 1 byte 1 byte 2 bytes 1 byte 1 byte
a. Sub-option type
b. Length
c. Circuit ID type
d. Length
e. VLAN : the incoming VLAN ID of DHCP client packet.
f. Module : For a standalone switch, the Module is always 0; For a stackable switch, the Module is the Unit ID.
g. Port : The incoming port number of DHCP client packet, port number starts from 1.
