DHCP Snooping
– 243 –
an untrusted interface (as specified by the no ip dhcp snooping trust
command) from a device not listed in the DHCP snooping table will be
dropped.
◆ When enabled, DHCP messages entering an untrusted interface are filtered
based upon dynamic entries learned via DHCP snooping.
◆ Table entries are only learned for trusted interfaces. Each entry includes a MAC
address, IP address, lease time, VLAN identifier, and port identifier.
◆ Filtering rules are implemented as follows:
■
If global DHCP snooping is disabled, all DHCP packets are forwarded.
■
If DHCP snooping is enabled globally, and also enabled on the VLAN where
the DHCP packet is received, all DHCP packets are forwarded for a trusted
port. If the received packet is a DHCP ACK message, a dynamic DHCP
snooping entry is also added to the binding table.
■
If DHCP snooping is enabled globally, and also enabled on the VLAN where
the DHCP packet is received, but the port is not trusted, it is processed as
follows:
■
If the DHCP packet is a reply packet from a DHCP server (including
OFFER, ACK or NAK messages), the packet is dropped.
■
If the DHCP packet is from a client, such as a DECLINE or RELEASE
message, the switch forwards the packet only if the corresponding
entry is found in the binding table.
■
If the DHCP packet is from client, such as a DISCOVER, REQUEST,
INFORM, DECLINE or RELEASE message, the packet is forwarded if MAC
address verification is disabled (as specified by the ip dhcp snooping
verify mac-address command). However, if MAC address verification is
enabled, then the packet will only be forwarded if the client’s hardware
address stored in the DHCP packet is the same as the source MAC
address in the Ethernet header.
■
If the DHCP packet is not a recognizable type, it is dropped.
■
If a DHCP packet from a client passes the filtering criteria above, it will only
be forwarded to trusted ports in the same VLAN.
■
If a DHCP packet is from server is received on a trusted port, it will be
forwarded to both trusted and untrusted ports in the same VLAN.
◆ If DHCP snooping is globally disabled, all dynamic bindings are removed from
the binding table.
