Ip Helper Agent-Information - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6250 Cli Reference Manual

ip helper agent-information

Enables or disables the DHCP relay agent information option (Option-82) feature. When this feature is
enabled, local relay agent information is inserted into client DHCP packets when the agent forwards these
packets to a DHCP server.
ip helper agent-information {enable | disable}
Syntax Definitions
enable
disable
Defaults
By default, this feature is disabled on the switch.
Platforms Supported

Usage Guidelines
•
This command enables the DHCP Option-82 feature for the entire switch; it is not configurable on a
per-VLAN basis.
•
When the DHCP Option-82 feature is enabled, DHCP Snooping is not available. These two features are
mutually exclusive.
•
When the relay agent receives a DHCP packet that already contains the Option-82 field, it will process
the packet based on the agent information policy configured for the switch. This policy is configured
using the ip help agent-information policy command.
Examples
