the reply packet was received. If the DHCP packet’s broadcast
flag is off, the switch uses the Option 82 information to identify
the interface connected to the requesting client and unicasts the
reply packet to the client.
• DHCP reply packets are flooded onto all attached VLANs other
than the inbound management VLAN under the following situations:
- The reply packet does not contain Option 82 information.
- The reply packet contains a valid relay agent address field (that is
not the address of this switch) or a zero relay address.
• Use the ip dhcp information policy command (page 37-6) to
specify how to handle DHCP client request packets which already
contain Option 82 information.
Example
This example enables Option 82, and sets the frame format for the option
to use a circuit identifier.

• replace - Replace the Option 82 information in the client’s request
with information about the relay agent itself, insert the relay agent’s
