Netis ST3326(ST-3302) [74/118] Overview of ip filtering

Option 82 is the relay agent information option in the DHCP message. It records the location
information of the DHCP client.
When a DHCP relay agent (or a device enabled with DHCP snooping) receives a client’s request, it
adds the Option 82 to the request message and sends it to the server.
The administrator can locate the DHCP client to further implement security control and
accounting. The Option 82 supporting server can also use such information to define individual
assignment policies of IP address and other parameters for the clients.
Option 82 involves at most 255 sub-options. If Option 82 is defined, at least one sub-option must
be defined. Currently the DHCP relay agent supports two sub-options: sub-option 1 (circuit ID
sub-option) and sub-option 2 (remote ID sub-option).
Padding content and frame format of Option 82
There is no specification for what should be padded in Option 82. Manufacturers can pad it as
required.
By default, the sub-options of Option 82 for the Switches (enabled with DHCP snooping) are
padded as follows:
sub-option 1 (circuit ID sub-option): Padded with the port index (smaller than the physical
port number by 1) and VLAN ID of the port that received the client’s request.
sub-option 2 (remote ID sub-option): Padded with the bridge MAC address of the DHCP
snooping device that received the client’s request.
Overview of IP Filtering
A denial-of-service (DoS) attack means an attempt of an attacker sending a large number of
forged address requests with different source IP addresses to the server so that the network
cannot work normally. The specific effects are as follows:
The resources on the server are exhausted, so the server does not respond to other
requests.
After receiving such type of packets, a switch needs to send them to the CPU for processing.
Too many request packets cause high CPU usage rate. As a result, the CPU cannot work
normally.
The switch can filter invalid IP packets through the DHCP-snooping table and IP static
binding table.
DHCP-snooping table
After DHCP snooping is enabled on a switch, a DHCP-snooping table is generated. It is used to
record IP addresses obtained from the DHCP server, MAC addresses, the number of the port
through which a client is connected to the DHCP-snooping-enabled device, and the number of
the VLAN to which the port belongs to. These records are saved as entries in the DHCP-snooping
table.
