Enabling unauthorized DHCP server detection
If there is an unauthorized DHCP server in the network, when a client applies for an IP address, the
unauthorized DHCP server may assign an incorrect IP address to the DHCP client.
With this feature enabled, upon receiving a DHCP message with the siaddr field (IP addresses of the
servers offering IP addresses to the client) not being 0 from a client, the DHCP relay agent will record
the value of the siaddr field and the receiving interface. The administrator can use this information to
check out any DHCP unauthorized servers.
Follow these steps to enable unauthorized DHCP server detection:
Enter system view
Enable unauthorized DHCP server
detection
With the unauthorized DHCP server detection enabled, the relay agent will log all DHCP servers,
including authorized ones, and each server is recorded only once until such information is removed and
is recorded again. The administrator needs to find unauthorized DHCP servers from the system log
information.
