Usage guidelines
This feature enables the DHCP relay agent to compare the chaddr field of a received DHCP request with the source MAC address in the frame header. If they are the same, the DHCP relay agent forwards the request to the DHCP server. If they are not the same, the DHCP relay agent discards the request.
The MAC address check feature takes effect only when the dhcp select relay command has already been configured on the interface.
Enable the MAC address check feature only on the DHCP relay agent directly connected to the DHCP clients. A DHCP relay agent changes the source MAC address of DHCP packets before sending them. If you enable this feature on an intermediate relay agent, it might discard valid DHCP packet, and the sending clients will not obtain IP addresses.
Examples
# Enable MAC address check on the relay agent.
<Sysname> system-view [Sysname] interface vlan-interface 10 [Sysname-Vlan-interface10] dhcp relay check mac-address
