The following table describes the labels in this screen.
27.3.1 DHC P Sno o ping Po rt C o nfig ure
Use this screen to specify whether ports are trusted or untrusted ports for DHCP snooping.
Note: The Switch will drop all DHCP requests if you enable DHCP snooping and there are no
trusted ports.
You can also specify the maximum number for DHCP packets that each port (trusted or untrusted) can
receive each second.

Configure
LABEL DESC RIPTIO N
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: The Switch will drop all DHCP requests if you enable DHCP snooping and
there are no trusted ports.
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 select an option 82 profile in the DHC P Sno o ping VLAN C o nfig ure screen to help
the DHCP servers distinguish between DHCP requests from different VLAN.
Select Disa ble if you do not want the Switch to forward DHCP packets to a specific VLAN.
Database If Time out inte rva l is greater than Write de la y inte rva l, 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:/ / {d o m a in na me o r IP a ddre ss}/ dire c to ry, if a p plic a b le / file na m e ; for example,
tftp:/ / 192.168.10.1/ da ta b a se .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.
Renew DHCP
Snooping URL
Enter the location of a DHCP snooping database, and click Re ne w if you want the Switch to
load it. You can use this to load dynamic bindings from a different DHCP snooping
database than the one specified in Ag e nt URL.
When the Switch loads dynamic bindings from a DHCP snooping database, it does not
discard the current dynamic bindings first. If there is a conflict, the Switch keeps the
dynamic binding in volatile memory and updates the Binding c ollisio ns counter in the DHC P
Sno o ping screen.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses these
changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Sa ve link on the top navigation panel to
save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel Click this to reset the values in this screen to their last-saved values.
