Usage Guidelines
You might want an edge switch to which a host is connected to insert DHCP option-82 information at
the edge of your network. You might also want to enable DHCP security features, such as DHCP
snooping, on an aggregation switch. However, if DHCP snooping is enabled on the aggregation switch,
the switch drops packets with option-82 information that are received on an untrusted port and does not
learn DHCP snooping bindings for connected devices on a trusted interface.
If the edge switch to which a host is connected inserts option-82 information and you want to use DHCP
snooping on an aggregation switch, enter the ip dhcp snooping information option allow-untrusted
command on the aggregation switch. The aggregation switch can learn the bindings for a host even
though the aggregation switch receives DHCP snooping packets on an untrusted port. You can also
enable DHCP security features on the aggregation switch. The port on the edge switch to which the
aggregation switch is connected must be configured as a trusted port.
Do not enter the ip dhcp snooping information option allow-untrusted command on an aggregation
Note
switch to which an untrusted device is connected. If you enter this command, an untrusted device might
spoof the option-82 information.
