Usage Scenario
- If a client obtains an IP address and goes offline abnormally, the client cannot release the IP address by sending a DHCP release packet. To resolve this problem, you can configure client online status detection. After client online status detection is enabled, the system uses Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to detect a client periodically. If the system cannot detect the client for specified times, the system will delete the DHCP snooping binding entry for the client. The system also sends a release packet to the DHCP server to release the client's IP address.
This function can only be deployed on Layer 3 devices.
- A DHCP snooping binding entry can be deleted manually if required. You can configure the client to send a release packet to the DHCP server to release the client's IP address.
This function dynamically maintains the DHCP snooping binding table. You can delete DHCP snooping binding entries based on virtual local area networks (VLANs), interfaces, or IP addresses.
