Use the Security > DHCP Snooping (Configure Interface) page to configure switch
ports as trusted or untrusted.
Command Usage
◆
A trusted interface is an interface that is configured to receive only messages
from within the network. An untrusted interface is an interface that is
configured to receive messages from outside the network or fire wall.
◆
When DHCP snooping is enabled both globally and on a VLAN, DHCP packet
filtering will be performed on any untrusted ports within the VLAN.
◆
When an untrusted port is changed to a trusted port, all the dynamic DHCP
snooping bindings associated with this port are removed.
◆
Set all ports connected to DHCP servers within the local network or fire wall to
trusted state. Set all other ports outside the local network or fire wall to
untrusted state.
