Dhcp Accounting Configuration; Enabling The Dhcp Server To Process Option 82 - H3C S5600 SERIES Operation Manual

Once releasing a lease, the DHCP server sends an Accounting STOP packet to the RADIUS
server. The RADIUS server processes the packet, stops the recording for the DHCP client, and
sends a response to the DHCP server. A lease can be released for the reasons such as lease
expiration, a release request received from the DHCP client, a manual release operation, an
address pool removal operation.
If the RADIUS server of the specified domain is unreachable, the DHCP server sends up to three
Accounting START packets (including the first sending attempt) at regular intervals. If the three packets
bring no response from the RADIUS server, the DHCP server does not send Accounting START
packets any more.

Enabling the DHCP Server to Process Option 82

If a DHCP server is enabled to process Option 82, after the DHCP server receives packets containing
Option 82, the DHCP server adds Option 82 into the responses when assigning IP addresses and other
configuration information to the clients.
If a DHCP server is configured to ignore Option 82, after the DHCP server receives packets containing
Option 82, the DHCP server will not add Option 82 into the responses when assigning IP addresses
and other configuration information to the clients.
