DHCP Access, Access-Internal, and Destination Route Suppression
During the DHCP client binding operation, the DHCP process adds route information for the DHCP sessions by default. The DHCP process adds access-internal and destination routes for DHCPv4 sessions, and access-internal and access routes for DHCPv6 sessions. In some scenarios, you might want to override the default behavior and prevent DHCP from automatically installing the route information. For example, DHCP relay installs destination (host) routes by default—this action is required in certain configurations to enable address renewals from the DHCP server to work properly. However, the default installation of destination routes might cause a conflict when you configure DHCP relay with static subscriber interfaces. To avoid such configuration conflicts you can override the default behavior and prevent DHCP relay from installing the routes.
You can configure both DHCP local server and DHCP relay agent to override the default route installation behavior, and you can specify the override for both DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 sessions. You can override the route installation globally or for named interface groups. For DHCPv4 you can override the installation of destination routes only or access-internal routes (the access-internal option prevents installation of both destination and access-internal routes). For DHCPv6 you can specify access routes, access-internal routes, or both.
![]() | Note: In Junos OS releases prior to Release 13.2, the no-arp statement was used to override the default installation of host routes. In Junos OS Release 13.2 and later, the no-arp statement is deprecated and the function is replaced by the route-suppression statement. |
