dhcp anti-attack check magic-cookie

Function

The dhcp anti-attack check magic-cookie command enables the function of checking the magic-cookie field in a DHCP packet and discarding a DHCP packet with an incorrect value in the magic-cookie field.

The undo dhcp anti-attack check magic-cookie command disables the function of checking the magic-cookie field in a DHCP packet.

By default, a device does not check the magic-cookie field in a DHCP packet but directly forwards a DHCP packet with an incorrect value in the magic-cookie field.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The dhcp anti-attack check magic-cookie command applies to DHCP servers, DHCP relay agents, DHCP clients, and DHCP snooping-enabled devices. Devices from different vendors may use different DHCP implementation mechanisms. After checking the magic-cookie field in a received DHCP packet, a device may not allow the DHCP packet to pass through and discards the packet. As a result, DHCP becomes unavailable. To solve this problem, you can run the undo dhcp anti-attack check magic-cookie command to disable the function of checking the magic-cookie field in a DHCP packet, so that a DHCP packet with an incorrect value in the magic-cookie field can be properly forwarded.

Prerequisites

DHCP has been enabled on the device using the dhcp enable command.

Example

# Disable the function of checking the magic-cookie field in a DHCP packet.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] dhcp enable
[HUAWEI] undo dhcp anti-attack check magic-cookie
