If you disable the DHCP to handle Option 82, it does not add Option 82 into the response message.
You must enable handling of Option 82 on both the DHCP server and the DHCP relay agent to ensure
normal operation of Option 82. For information about enabling it on the DHCP relay agent, see

Perform this task to enable the DHCP server to support DHCP clients that are incompliant with RFC.

Configuring the DHCP server to broadcast all responses

Typically, the DHCP server broadcasts a response only when the broadcast flag in the DHCP request is
set to 1. To work with DHCP clients that set the broadcast flag to 0 but do not accept unicast responses,

configure the DHCP server to ignore the broadcast flag and always broadcast a response.
Upon receiving a DHCP request from a DHCP relay agent (the giaddr field is not 0), the DHCP server

unicasts a response (the destination address is giaddr) to the DHCP relay agent regardless of whether it
is enabled to broadcast all responses.
To configure the DHCP server to broadcast all responses:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view N/A

2.

Enable the DHCP server to
broadcast all responses.

dhcp server always-broadcast

By default, the DHCP server looks at
the broadcast flag to decide

whether to broadcast or unicast a
response.

203B

Configure the DHCP server to ignore BOOTP requests

The lease duration of the IP addresses obtained by the BOOTP clients is unlimited. For some scenarios
that do not allow unlimited leases, you can configure the DHCP server to ignore BOOTP requests.
To configure the DHCP server to ignore BOOTP requests:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view N/A

2.

Configure the DHCP server to

ignore BOOTP requests.

dhcp server bootp ignore

By default, the DHCP server
