Implementation Information

The following describes DHCP implementation.

  • Dell EMC Networking implements DHCP based on RFC 2131 and RFC 3046.
  • IP source address validation is a sub-feature of DHCP Snooping; the Dell EMC Networking OS uses access control lists (ACLs) internally to implement this feature and as such, you cannot apply ACLs to an interface which has IP source address validation. If you configure IP source address validation on a member port of a virtual local area network (VLAN) and then to apply an access list to the VLAN, Dell EMC Networking OS displays the first line in the following message. If you first apply an ACL to a VLAN and then enable IP source address validation on one of its member ports, Dell EMC Networking OS displays the second line in the following message.
    % Error: Vlan member has access-list configured.
    % Error: Vlan has an access-list configured.
    NOTE If you enable DHCP Snooping globally and you have any configured L2 ports, any IP ACL, MAC ACL, or DHCP source address validation ACL does not block DHCP packets.
  • Dell EMC Networking OS provides 40000 entries that can be divided between leased addresses and excluded addresses. By extension, the maximum number of pools you can configure depends on the subnet mask that you give to each pool. For example, if all pools were configured for a /24 mask, the total would be 40000/253 (approximately 158). If the subnet is increased, more pools can be configured. The maximum subnet that can be configured for a single pool is /17. Dell EMC Networking OS displays an error message for configurations that exceed the allocated memory.
  • This platform supports 4000 DHCP Snooping entries.
  • All platforms support Dynamic ARP Inspection on 16 VLANs per system. For more information, refer to Dynamic ARP Inspection.
    NOTE If the DHCP server is on the top of rack (ToR) and the VLTi (ICL) is down due to a failed link, when a VLT node is rebooted in BMP (Bare Metal Provisioning) mode, it is not able to reach the DHCP server, resulting in BMP failure.
