Enabling Processing of Client Information Requests
By default, DHCP local server and DHCPv6 local server do not respond to information request messages from the client. You can enable DHCP local server and DHCPv6 local server to process these messages and respond to them with an acknowledgment (ack or reply message, respectively) and the requested information.
DHCP relay agent automatically forwards the information request messages without modification to the configured server group by means of the interfaces configured for the respective server group. The messages are dropped If they are received on an unconfigured interface. DHCP relay proxy also supports forwarding these messages. You cannot disable forwarding of the information request messages.
Configure one or more local address pools if you want to use a local pool rather than one provided by AAA. See Configuring an Address-Assignment Pool Name and Addresses. For processing information request messages, the address configuration is not necessary. For DHCP local server, you must specify the IPv4 family; for DHCPv6 local server, you must specify the IPv6 family.
See Configuring DHCP Client-Specific Attributes for details about how to configure the information sought by clients that send information request messages.
To enable processing of DHCP client information request messages:
- Specify that you want to configure override options.
- For DHCP local server:[edit system services dhcp-local-server overrides]user@host# set process-inform
- For DHCPv6 local server:[edit system services dhcp-local-server dhcpv6 overrides]user@host# set process-inform
- For DHCP local server:
- (Optional) Specify a pool name from which DHCP information is returned to the client.
