Configuring DHCP snooping entries backup

DHCP snooping entries cannot survive a reboot. If the DHCP snooping device is rebooted, security

modules (such as IP source guard) that use DHCP snooping entries to authenticate users will reject

requests from clients until new entries are learned.
The DHCP snooping entries backup feature enables you to store DHCP snooping entries in a file. When

the DHCP snooping device reboots, it reads DHCP snooping entries from this file.
Follow these guidelines when you configure DHCP snooping entries backup:

After DHCP snooping is disabled with the undo dhcp-snooping command, the switch will delete all
DHCP snooping entries, including those stored in the file.

If you specify a subdirectory in the name of the file that stores DHCP snooping entries, make sure
the subdirectory is available on each MPU. Otherwise, the system will fail to create the file on MPUs
without the specified subdirectory. To solve this problem, cancel the current configuration and

specify a new subdirectory in the file name.
