This command can be used to store the currently learned dynamic DHCP

snooping entries to flash memory. These entries will be restored to the

snooping table when the switch is reset. However, note that the lease time

shown for a dynamic entry that has been restored from flash memory will

no longer be valid.

DHCP provides a relay mechanism for sending information about the

switch and its DHCP clients to the DHCP server. Known as DHCP Option

82, it allows compatible DHCP servers to use the information when

assigning IP addresses, or to set other services or policies for clients.

When the DHCP Snooping Information Option is enabled, the

requesting client (or an intermediate relay agent that has used the

information fields to describe itself) can be identified in the DHCP

request packets forwarded by the switch and in reply packets sent back

from the DHCP server.

When the DHCP Snooping Information Option is enabled, clients can be

identified by the switch port to which they are connected rather than
