The Database - Allied Telesis AT-8600 Series How To Use Manual

The database

The switch watches the DHCP packets that it is passing back-and-forth. It also maintains a
database that lists the DHCP leases it knows are being held by devices downstream of its
ports.
Each lease in the database holds the following information:
When inserting Option 82 information into the DHCP packets, the switch uses the
information it has stored in the database for filtering and for filling in the fields.
DHCP snooping database time-out
The CPU will time-out database entries if the lease, also stored in the database, expires.
Database survival across reboots
The database is periodically saved as a .dsn file into non-volatile storage. Therefore the
database will survive a reboot.
Verifying the status of snooped users
To verify the status of snooped users, use the command show dhcpsnooping database.
Manager > show dhcpsnooping database
