information policy
This command specifies how to handle client requests which already contain DHCP
Option 82 information.
Syntax
ip dhcp relay information policy {drop | keep | replace}
drop - Floods the original request packet onto the VLAN that received it
instead of relaying it.
keep - Retains the Option 82 information in the client request, inserts the
relay agent’s address, and unicasts the packet to the DHCP server.
replace - Replaces the Option 82 information circuit-id and remote-id fields
in the client’s request packet with information provided by the relay agent
itself, inserts the relay agent’s address, and unicasts the packet to the DHCP
server.

Usage Guidelines
◆ Refer to the Usage Guidelines under the ip dhcp relay information option
command for information on when Option 82 information is processed by the
switch.
◆ When the Option 82 policy is set to “keep” the original information in the
request packet, the frame type specified by the ip dhcp relay information
option command is ignored.
