DHCPv6 Snooping
– 352 –
information can be useful in tracking an IP address back to a physical port. This
section describes commands used to configure DHCPv6 snooping.
ipv6 dhcp snooping This command enables DHCPv6 snooping globally. Use the no form to restore the
default setting.
Syntax
[no] ipv6 dhcp snooping
Default Setting
Disabled
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
â—† Network traffic may be disrupted when malicious DHCPv6 messages are
received from an outside source. DHCPv6 snooping is used to filter DHCPv6
messages received on an unsecure interface from outside the network or fire
wall. When DHCPv6 snooping is enabled globally by this command, and
enabled on a VLAN interface by the ipv6 dhcp snooping vlan command, DHCP
messages received on an untrusted interface (as specified by the no ipv6 dhcp
snooping trust command) from a device not listed in the DHCPv6 snooping
table will be dropped.
