LABEL DESCRIPTION
Active Select this to enable DHCP snooping on the Switch. You still have to enable DHCP 
snooping on specific VLAN and specify trusted ports.
Note: If DHCP is enabled and there are no trusted ports, DHCP requests will 
not succeed.
DHCP Vlan Select a VLAN ID if you want the Switch to forward DHCP packets to DHCP servers on a 
specific VLAN.
Note: You have to enable DHCP snooping on the DHCP VLAN too.
You can enable Option82 in the DHCP Snooping VLAN Configure screen (Section 23.3.2 
on page 191) to help the DHCP servers distinguish between DHCP requests from 
different VLAN.
Select Disable if you do not want the Switch to forward DHCP packets to a specific 
VLAN.
Database If Timeout interval is greater than Write delay interval, it is possible that the next update 
is scheduled to occur before the current update has finished successfully or timed out. 
In this case, the Switch waits to start the next update until it completes the current one.
Agent URL Enter the location of the DHCP snooping database. The location should be expressed 
like this: tftp://{domain name or IP address}/directory, if applicable/file name; for 
example, tftp://192.168.10.1/database.txt.
Timeout interval Enter how long (10 – 65535 seconds) the Switch tries to complete a specific update in 
the DHCP snooping database before it gives up.
Write delay interval Enter how long (10 – 65535 seconds) the Switch waits to update the DHCP snooping 
database the first time the current bindings change after an update. Once the next 
update is scheduled, additional changes in current bindings are automatically 
included in the next update.
