Configuring an Interface as Trusted or Untrusted
Configuring an Interface as Trusted or Untrusted
You can configure whether an interface is a trusted or untrusted source of DHCP messages. By default, all
interfaces are untrusted. You can configure DHCP trust on the following types of interfaces:
• Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces
• Layer 2 port-channel interfaces
Before you begin
Make sure that the DHCP feature is enabled.
Make sure that the interface is configured as a Layer 2 interface.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure terminal
2. Do one of the following options:
3. [no] ip dhcp snooping trust
4. (Optional) show running-config dhcp
5. (Optional) copy running-config startup-config
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action
Step 1
configure terminal
Example:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)#
Step 2
Do one of the following options:
• interface ethernet slot/port
• interface port-channel channel-number
Example:
switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/1
switch(config-if)#
Step 3
[no] ip dhcp snooping trust
Example:
switch(config-if)# ip dhcp snooping trust
Step 4
(Optional) show running-config dhcp
Example:
switch(config-if)# show running-config dhcp

• interface ethernet slot/port
• interface port-channel channel-number
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
• Enters interface configuration mode, where slot/port
is the Layer 2 Ethernet interface that you want to
configure as trusted or untrusted for DHCP snooping.
• Enters interface configuration mode, where slot/port
is the Layer 2 port-channel interface that you want to
configure as trusted or untrusted for DHCP snooping.
Configures the interface as a trusted interface for DHCP
snooping. The no form of this command configures the port
as an untrusted interface.
Displays the DHCP configuration.
