Client Identifier Spoofing

By using the agent-supplied remote ID option, the untrusted and as-yet unstandardized
client identifier field need not be used by the DHCP server.

Fig. 8.33 shows how the DHCP relay agent with the DHCP option 82 operates.

Option 82 Sub-Option

The DHCP option 82 enables a DHCP relay agent to include information about itself when
forwarding client-originated DHCP packets to a DHCP server. The DHCP server can use
this information to implement security and IP address assignment policies.

There are 2 sub-options for the DHCP option 82 information as follows:

Remote ID

This sub-option may be added by DHCP relay agents which terminate switched or

permanent circuits and have mechanisms to identify the remote host of the circuit.

Note that, the remote ID must be globally unique.

Circuit ID

This sub-option may be added by DHCP relay agents which terminate switched or

permanent circuits. It encodes an agent-local identifier of the circuit from which a

DHCP client-to-server packet was received. It is intended for use by DHCP relay

agents in forwarding DHCP responses back to the proper circuit.
