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: 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 DHCP Snooping VLAN Configure screen
(
) 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.
