NOTE: If the DHCP relay agent is in snoop mode, DHCP relay releases the
client but does not send a release packet to the DHCP server if the discover
packet is for a passive client (a client added as a result of snooped packets)
or if the discover packet is a snooped packet.
Option 60 and Option 82 Requirements
DHCP local server requires that the received discover packet include both DHCP option
60 and option 82. If either option is missing, DHCP local server cannot perform the
secondary identification method and auto logout is not used.
DHCP relay agent requires that the received discover packet contain DHCP option 60.
DHCP relay determines the option 82 value based on the guidelines provided in “How
DHCP Relay Agent Uses Option 82 for Auto Logout” on page 126.
