Parameters

giaddr: Specifies the giaddr field check in DHCP requests.

mac-address: Specifies MAC address check.

request-message: Specifies DHCP-REQUEST check.

Usage guidelines

After you enable the packet drop alarm for a feature, the device generates an alarm log when the number of packets dropped by this feature reaches the alarm threshold. The alarm log is sent to the information center. Then, the device clears the current packet drop statistics and counts packet drops again. You can set log message filtering and output rules by configuring the information center. For more information about the information center, see information center configuration in System Management Configuration Guide.

To set the alarm threshold, use the dhcp snooping alarm threshold command.

For this command to take effect, you must first execute the dhcp snooping log enable command to enable DHCP snooping logging.

Parameters

giaddr: Specifies the giaddr field check in DHCP requests.

mac-address: Specifies MAC address check.

request-message: Specifies the DHCP-REQUEST check.

threshold: Specifies the number of dropped packets that triggers a packet drop alarm. The value range is 1 to 1000.

Usage guidelines

The device generates an alarm log when the number of packets dropped due to the check failure reaches the alarm threshold. Then, the device clears the current packet drop statistics and counts packet drops again. If the number of packet drops reaches the alarm threshold again, the device generates a new alarm log.

Parameters

filename: Specifies the name of a local backup file. The value for this argument is a case-insensitive string of 1 to 255 characters. For information about the filename argument, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

url url: Specifies the URL of a remote backup file, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 255 characters. Do not include a username or password in the URL. Supported path format type varies by server.

username username: Specifies the username for accessing the URL of the remote backup file, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 32 characters. Do not specify this option if a username is not required for accessing the URL.

cipher: Specifies a password in encrypted form.

simple: Specifies a password in plaintext form. For security purposes, the password specified in plaintext form will be stored in encrypted form.

string: Specifies the password. Its plaintext form is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 32 characters. Its encrypted form is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 73 characters. Do not specify this argument if a password is not required for accessing the URL of the remote backup file.

Usage guidelines

This command automatically creates the file if you specify a nonexistent file.

With this command executed, the DHCP snooping device backs up DHCP snooping entries immediately and runs auto backup. The DHCP snooping device, by default, waits 300 seconds after a DHCP snooping entry change to update the backup file. To change the waiting period, use the dhcp snooping binding database update interval command. If no DHCP snooping entry changes, the backup file is not updated.

As a best practice, back up the DHCP snooping entries to a remote file. If you use the local storage medium, the frequent erasing and writing might damage the medium and then cause the DHCP snooping device to malfunction.

When the file is on a remote device, follow these restrictions and guidelines to specify the URL, username, and password:

· If the file is on an FTP server, enter URL in the following format: ftp://server address:port/file path, where the port number is optional.

· If the file is on a TFTP server, enter URL in the following format: tftp://server address:port/file path, where the port number is optional.

· The username and password must be the same as those configured on the FTP server. If the server authenticates only the username, the password can be omitted.

· If the IP address of the server is an IPv6 address, enclose the address in a pair of brackets, for example, ftp://[1::1]/database.dhcp.

· You can also specify the DNS domain name for the server address field, for example, ftp://company/database.dhcp.

Usage guidelines

A DHCP snooping device functions between DHCP clients and a DHCP server, or between DHCP clients and a DHCP relay agent. The giaddr field in a DHCP request records the address information of the first relay agent that the request passes by. If the DHCP snooping devices receives a DHCP request where the giaddr field value is not 0, it indicates that the DHCP snooping device location is not correct. In this case, the DHCP snooping device cannot function correctly.

This feature enables the DHCP snooping device to examine the giaddr field value in received DHCP packets and drop them if the giaddr field value is not 0. When the number of dropped DHCP requests reaches or exceeds the alarm threshold, the device generates a log for administrators to adjust locations of the DHCP devices.

Examples

# Enable the giaddr field check in DHCP requests on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

Usage guidelines

With MAC address check enabled, DHCP snooping compares the chaddr field of a received DHCP request with the source MAC address field in the frame header. If they are the same, DHCP snooping considers this request valid and forwards it to the DHCP server. If they are not the same, DHCP snooping discards the DHCP request.

network-admin

Usage guidelines

DHCP-REQUEST packets include lease renewal packets, DHCP-DECLINE packets, and DHCP-RELEASE packets. This feature prevents unauthorized clients that forge DHCP-REQUEST packets from attacking the DHCP server.

With this feature enabled, DHCP snooping looks for a matching DHCP snooping entry for each received DHCP-REQUEST message.

· If a match is found, DHCP snooping compares the entry with the message. If they have consistent information, DHCP snooping considers the packet valid and forwards it to the DHCP server. If they have different information, DHCP snooping considers the message invalid and discards it.

· If no match is found, DHCP snooping forwards the message to the DHCP server.

Usage guidelines

When a DHCP client goes offline abnormally, it does not send a message to the DHCP server to release its IP address. As a result, the DHCP server is not aware of the offline event and cannot release the client lease timely.

With this feature enabled, the DHCP snooping device performs the following operations when the ARP entry of a client ages out:

1. Deletes the DHCP snooping entry for the client.

2. Sends a DHCP-RELEASE message to the DHCP server to inform the server to release the address lease of the client.

Examples

# Enable client offline detection.

Parameters

vlan-id-list: Specifies a space-separated list of up to 10 VLAN items. Each VLAN item specifies a VLAN by VLAN ID or specifies a range of VLANs in the form of vlan-id1 to vlan-id2. The value range for the VLAN IDs is 1 to 4094. If you specify a VLAN range, the value for the vlan-id2 argument must be greater than the value for the vlan-id1 argument.

Usage guidelines

After you enable DHCP snooping for a VLAN, DHCP snooping untrusted ports in the VLAN discard incoming DHCP responses. This mechanism ensures that DHCP clients obtain IP addresses from authorized DHCP servers.

After you disable DHCP snooping for a VLAN, all interfaces in the VLAN can forward DHCP responses.

Parameters

append: Processes a DHCP message as follows:

· If the DHCP message does not carry Option 82, the device forwards the message after adding the Option 82 according to the padding configuration.

· If the DHCP message carries Option 82, the device processes the message as follows:

¡ Forwards the message after padding the Vendor-Specific sub-option with the content specified in the dhcp snooping information vendor-specific command.

¡ Forwards the message without changing Option 82 if the dhcp snooping information vendor-specific command is not configured.

drop: Drops DHCP messages that contain Option 82.

keep: Keeps the original Option 82 intact and forwards the DHCP messages.

replace: Replaces the Option 82 with the configured Option 82 before forwarding the DHCP messages. If the DHCP messages do not carry Option 82, the device adds Option 82 according to the padding configuration before forwarding the DHCP messages.

Usage guidelines

This command takes effect only on DHCP requests that contain Option 82. For DHCP requests that do not contain Option 82, the DHCP snooping device always adds Option 82 into the requests before forwarding them to the DHCP server.

If the handling strategy is replace, configure a padding mode and a padding format for Option 82. If the handling strategy is keep or drop, you do not need to configure a padding mode or padding format for Option 82.

Examples

# Specify the handling strategy for Option 82 in request messages as keep.

Parameters

vlan vlan-id: Pads the Vendor-Specific sub-option for packets received from the specified VLAN. If you do not specify a VLAN, the device pads the Vendor-Specific sub-option for all packets received on the interface.

bas: Specifies the bas mode to pad the Vendor-Specific sub-option.

node-identifier: Specifies the access node identifier. If you do not specify this keyword, the device pads the Vendor-Specific sub-option with the bridge MAC address of the access node as the node identifier. The padding format for the Vendor-Specific sub-option is ASCII.

· mac: Uses the bridge MAC address of the access node as the node identifier.

· sysname: Uses the device name as the node identifier. You can set the device name by using the sysname command in system view. If the sysname keyword is specified, do not include any spaces when you set the device name. Otherwise, the DHCP snooping device fails to add the Vendor-Specific sub-option. If the device name contains more than 50 characters, only the first 50 characters are padded.

· user-defined string: Uses a case-sensitive string of 1 to 50 characters as the node identifier. Do not include any spaces in the string.

Usage guidelines

After you configure this command, the DHCP snooping device pads the Vendor-Specific sub-option after receiving a DHCP request. The device forwards the DHCP request without padding the Vendor-Specific sub-option if the length of Option 82 in the request reaches the upper limit.

Usage guidelines

When an interface learns the maximum number of DHCP snooping entries, the interface stops learning DHCP snooping entries. This does not affect the operating of the DHCP snooping feature.

Examples

# Allow Layer 3 Ethernet interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to learn a maximum of 10 DHCP snooping entries.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] dhcp snooping max-learning-num 10

dhcp snooping rate-limit

Use dhcp snooping rate-limit to enable DHCP snooping packet rate limit on an interface and set the limit value.

Use undo dhcp snooping rate-limit to disable DHCP snooping packet rate limit.

Syntax

dhcp snooping rate-limit rate

undo dhcp snooping rate-limit

Default

The DHCP snooping packet rate limit is disabled on an interface.

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

rate: Specifies the maximum rate in Kbps. The value range for this argument is 64 to 512.

Usage guidelines

This command takes effect only when DHCP snooping is enabled.

With the rate limit feature, the interface discards DHCP packets that exceed the maximum rate.

The rate configured on a Layer 2 aggregate interface applies to all members of the aggregate interface. If a member interface leaves the aggregation group, it uses the rate configured in its Ethernet interface view.

Examples

# Set the maximum rate to 64 Kbps at which Layer 2 Ethernet interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 can receive DHCP packets.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] dhcp snooping rate-limit 64

dhcp snooping trust

Use dhcp snooping trust to configure a port as a trusted port.

Use undo dhcp snooping trust to restore the default state of a port.

Syntax

dhcp snooping trust

undo dhcp snooping trust

Default

After you enable DHCP snooping, all ports are untrusted.

Views

Usage guidelines

Specify the ports facing the DHCP server as trusted ports and specify the other ports as untrusted ports so DHCP clients can obtain valid IP addresses.

Examples

# Specify Layer 3 Ethernet interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 as a trusted port.

<Sysname> system-view

dhcp snooping trust interface

Use dhcp snooping trust interface to configure an interface in a VLAN as a DHCP snooping trusted port.

Use undo dhcp snooping trust interface to configure an interface in a VLAN as a DHCP snooping untrusted port.

Syntax

dhcp snooping trust interface interface-type interface-number

undo dhcp snooping trust interface interface-type interface-number

Default

After you enable DHCP snooping for a VLAN, all interfaces in the VLAN are DHCP snooping untrusted ports.

Views

VLAN view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface by its type and number.

Usage guidelines

In a VLAN, configure interfaces facing the DHCP server as trusted ports, and configure other interfaces as untrusted ports. The trusted ports forward response messages from the DHCP server to the clients. The untrusted ports connected to unauthorized DHCP servers discard incoming DHCP response messages.

You can execute this command multiple times in a VLAN to configure multiple trusted ports in the VLAN.

Make sure the specified interface is in the VLAN for which the dhcp snooping enable vlan command is configured.

Examples

# Configure GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 as a trusted port in VLAN 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] vlan 1

[Sysname-vlan 1] dhcp snooping trust interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

Usage guidelines

This command displays statistics about packets exchanged between DRNI primary and secondary devices for DHCP snooping entry synchronization, including synchronization times and the number of synchronized DHCP snooping entries.

Bringing up an IPP interface triggers entry synchronization from the primary device to the secondary device.

To determine whether DHCP snooping entries are correctly synchronized, compare the values in the in the Sync start number field and the Sync end number field:

· If the two values are the same, DHCP snooping entries are correctly synchronized

· If the two values are different, a synchronization error has occurred.
