DHCP Snooping Support for Option 82

Option 82 records the location information of the DHCP client. The administrator can locate the DHCP

client to further implement security control and accounting.

If DHCP snooping supports Option 82, it will handle a client’s request according to the contents defined

in Option 82, if any. The handling strategies are described in the table below.

If a reply returned by the DHCP server contains Option 82, the DHCP snooping device will remove the

Option 82 before forwarding the reply to the client. If the reply contains no Option 82, the DHCP

snooping device forwards it directly.
