MACFF,

DHCP

Snooping

-

MAC-forced forwarding has been enhanced for use in a hospitality
situation, such as a hotel. The enhanced solution allows hotel guests to
connect to the network without having to change their IP settings, while
still ensuring privacy for each guest. Typically some guests will obtain their
IP address from the hotel's DHCP server and others will have statically
configured IP addresses in their PCs.

The solution is designed to interoperate with a specialised Access Router
that is able to deal with the full range of IP addresses that will be in use on
the guests' PCs. The Nomadix Access Gateway (from www.nomadix.com)
is an example of such a specialised access router.

Configuration of the new feature is similar to the existing MAC-forced
forwarding configuration. On each edge switch, you also need to enter the
following new command before enabling DHCP snooping:

disable dhcpsnooping ipfiltering

You also need to turn on ARP security and allow authorised clients to send
only unicast packets, by entering the following commands:

enable dhcpsnooping arpsecurity

enable dhcpsnooping strictunicast

This enhancement also introduces the ability to add MACFF servers with
static MAC addresses, rather than relying on ARP to determine them based
on IP addresses. To do this, enter the command:

add macff server mac=macaddr
