RE: DHCP snooping and ip helper interaction

In our environment our DHCP servers do not support option 82 so we found that we had to put "no ip dhcp snooping information option" on our switches to make DHCP work consistently...

Hi Geert,
  If you add the "ip dhcp relay information trusted" on the interface on the distribution switch the DHCP service should start working again, this command allows the L3 interface to forward packets that include DHCP Option 82 informations.

All,

Does a DHCP snooping configuration NEED an ip helper address defined on the
same switch ?

In my lab setup, DHCP breaks when i configure dhcp snooping without ip helper
address.
Setup:

Access = C3750 , 12.2(25)SE2
Distribution= C6500, sup720, 12.2(18)SXF8

ACCESS
int vlan 100
 ip address 1.1.1.250 255.255.255.0 <- for management of the
switch !

int gi1/0/49 <--- uplink (is dhcp trusted)
 ip dhcp trust

ip dhcp snooping vlan 100 <- activate snooping
on access

DISTRIBUTION
int vlan 100
 ip address 1.1.1.2 255.255.255.0
 standby 1 ip 1.1.1.1
 ip helper-address 192.168.1.1

Without dhcp snooping on the access, the config works. Clients get an ip
address.
Once i enable dhcp snooping on the access, dhcp doesn't work anymore ??

regards,
Geert Nijs
