Now, the DHCP server will allocate addresses for the network nodes from Switch1 which are relayed by

from Switch1 within the range of 192.168.102.51~192.168.102.80.

31.4 DHCP option 82 Troubleshooting

 DHCP option 82 is implemented as a sub-function module of DHCP Relay Agent. Before using it, users

should make sure that the DHCP Relay Agent is configured correctly.

 DHCP option 82 needs the DHCP Relay Agent and the DHCP server cooperate to finish the task of

allocating IP addresses. The DHCP server should set allocating policy correctly depending on the

network topology of the DHCP Relay Agent, or, even the Relay Agent can operate normally, the

allocation of addresses will fail. When there is more than one kind of Relay Agent, please pay attention

to the retransmitting policy of the interface DHCP request messages.

 To implement the option 82 function of DHCP Relay Agent, the “debug dhcp relay packet” command

can be used during the operating procedure, including adding the contents of option 82, the

retransmitting policy adopted, the option 82 contents of the server peeled by the Relay Agent and etc.,

such information can help users to do troubleshooting.

 To implement the option 82 function of DHCP server, the “debug ip dhcp server packet” command can

be used during the operating procedure to display the procedure of data packets processing of the

server, including displaying the identified option 82 information of the request message and the option

82 information returned by the reply message.
