Usage guidelines
This function enables the DHCP relay agent to compare the chaddr field of a received DHCP request with
the source MAC address in the frame header. If they are the same, the DHCP relay agent forwards the
request to the DHCP server. If they are not the same, the DHCP relay agent discards the request.
The MAC address check function takes effect only when the dhcp select relay command has been
configured on the interface.
Enable the MAC address check function only on the DHCP relay agent directly connected to the DHCP
clients. A DHCP relay agent changes the source MAC address of DHCP packets before sending them. If
you enable this feature on an intermediate relay agent, it might discard valid DHCP packet, and the
sending clients will not obtain IP addresses.
Examples
# Enable MAC address check on the relay agent.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface ethernet 1/1
[Sysname-Ethernet1/1] dhcp relay check mac-address
