Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 11.3 for the QFX Series.

Description

Insert the remote-id suboption of DHCP option 82 (also known as the DHCP relay agent information option) in DHCP request packet headers before forwarding or relaying requests to a DHCP server. This suboption provides a trusted identifier for the host system that has forwarded or relayed requests to the server.

The remaining statements are explained separately.

Default

If remote-id is not explicitly set, no remote ID value is inserted in the DHCP request packet header. If the remote-id option is specified but is not qualified by a keyword, the MAC address of the host device (the switch) is used as the remote ID.
