Configuring the DHCP trust setting

Configuring the DHCP trust setting

The DHCP blocking feature monitors the DHCP traffic from untrusted sources (for example, typically host ports and unknown DHCP servers) that might initiate traffic attacks or other hostile actions. To prevent this, DHCP blocking filters messages on untrusted ports.

Set the port as a trusted or untrusted DHCP-snooping interface:

config switch-controller managed-switch

edit <FortiSwitch_serial_number>

config ports

edit <port_name>

set dhcp-snooping {trusted | untrusted}

end

end

For example:

config switch-controller managed-switch

edit S524DF4K15000024

config ports

edit port1

set dhcp-snooping trusted

end

end
