Usage Guidelines

Option 82 policy is used when receiving a DHCP Discover/Request/Release/Decline/Inform message from the DHCP client. When option82-policy is set to “insert” or “replace”, you can use the following commands to set the format of circuit ID and remote ID sub-options:

set protocols dhcp snooping option82 circuit-id <port-index | port-name | port-description>

set protocols dhcp snooping option82 remote-id <system-mac | hostname>

We can use the following table to summarize the Option 82 policy.

For details about how Option 82 is processed by the DHCP snooping and DHCP relay module, see Introduction to DHCP.
