Configuring basic DHCP snooping
Follow these guidelines when you configure basic DHCP snooping:
• Specify the ports connected to authorized DHCP servers as trusted ports to make sure that DHCP
clients can obtain valid IP addresses. The trusted ports and the ports connected to DHCP clients must
be in the same VLAN.
• Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces can be specified as trusted ports.
• DHCP snooping can work with QinQ to record VLAN tags for DHCP packets received from clients.
For more information about QinQ, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.
