DHCP Overview
DHCP is generally used between clients and servers for the purpose of
assigning IP addresses, gateways, and other network settings such as DNS and
SNTP server information.
DHCP Snooping is a security feature that monitors DHCP messages between
a DHCP client and DHCP server. It filters harmful DHCP messages and
builds a bindings database of (MAC address, IP address, VLAN ID, port)
tuples that are specified as authorized. DHCP snooping can be enabled
globally and on specific VLANs. For information about DHCP Snooping, see
"Snooping and Inspecting Traffic" on page 1053.
NOTE: The DHCP server is not available on the Dell EMC Networking N1500
Series switch.
