4.10.6 DHCP Snooping Option82 Setting

DHCP provides a relay mechanism for sending information about the switch and its DHCP clients to DHCP servers. Known as
DHCP Option 82, it allows compatible DHCP servers to use the information when assigning IP addresses, or to set other
services or policies for clients. It is also an effective tool in preventing malicious network attacks from attached clients on DHCP
services, such as IP Spoofing, Client Identifier Spoofing, MAC Address Spoofing, and Address Exhaustion.
The DHCP option 82 enables a DHCP relay agent to insert specific information into a DHCP request packets when forwarding
