Usage Guidelines
The relay information option command automatically adds the circuit identifier suboption and the remote
ID suboption to the DHCP relay agent information option.
The relay information option command enables a DHCP server to identify the user (for example, cable
access router) sending the request and initiate appropriate action based on this information. By default, DHCP
does not insert relay information.
If the information option command is enabled, DHCP snooping mode does not set the giaddr field in the
DHCP packet.
The upstream DHCP server or DHCP relay interface must be configured to accept this type of packet using
the relay information option allow-untrusted configuration. This configuration prevents the server or relay
from dropping the DHCP message.
