Enabling the DHCP relay agent to record relay entries
Perform this task to enable the DHCP relay agent to automatically record clients' IP-to-MAC bindings (relay entries) after they obtain IP addresses through DHCP.
Some security features use the relay entries to check incoming packets and block packets that do not match any entry. In this way, illegal hosts are not able to access external networks through the relay agent. Examples of the security features are ARP address check, authorized ARP, and IP source guard.
To enable the DHCP relay agent to record relay entries:
