Configuring an Option 82 Prefix

Optionally, you can also include the prefix statement to add a prefix to the base option 82 information in DHCP packets destined for a DHCP server.




prefix host-name logical-system-name
routing-instance-name;

The prefix is separated from the option 82 agent-circuit-id information by a colon (:), and can include any combination of the host-name, logical-system-name, and routing-instance-name options. The DHCP relay agent obtains the values for the host-name, logical-system-name, and routing-instance-name as follows:

If you include the host-name option, the DHCP relay agent uses the hostname of the router configured with the host-name statement at the [edit system] hierarchy level.
If you include the logical-system-name option, the DHCP relay agent uses the logical system name configured with the logical-system statement at the [edit logical-system] hierarchy level.
If you include the routing-instance-name option, the DHCP relay agent uses the routing instance name configured with the routing-instance statement at the [edit routing-instances] hierarchy level or at the [edit logical-system logical-system-name routing-instances] hierarchy level.

If you include the hostname and either or both the logical system name and the routing instance name in the prefix, the hostname is followed by a forward slash (/). If you include both the logical system name and the routing instance name in the prefix, these values are separated by a semicolon (;).

The following examples show several possible formats for the agent-circuit-id information when you specify the prefix statement for Fast Ethernet (fe) or Gigabit Ethernet (ge) interfaces with S-VLANs.

If you include only the hostname in the prefix for Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with S-VLANs:hostname:(fe | ge)-fpc/pic/port:svlan-id-vlan-id
If you include only the logical system name in the prefix for Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with S-VLANs:logical-system-name:(fe | ge)-fpc/pic/port:svlan-id-vlan-id
If you include only the routing instance name in the prefix for Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with S-VLANs:routing-instance-name:(fe | ge)-fpc/pic/port:svlan-id-vlan-id
If you include both the hostname and the logical system name in the prefix for Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with S-VLANs:host-name/logical-system-name:(fe | ge)-fpc/pic/port:svlan-id-vlan-id
If you include both the logical system name and the routing instance name in the prefix for Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with S-VLANs:logical-system-name;routing-instance-name:(fe | ge)-fpc/pic/port:svlan-id-vlan-id
If you include the hostname, logical system name, and routing instance name in the prefix for Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with S-VLANs:host-name/logical-system-name;routing-instance-name:(fe | ge)-fpc/pic/port:svlan-id-vlan-id

For example, the following is the agent-circuit-id format for a Gigabit Ethernet interface on FPC 4, PIC 1, port 1 with S-VLAN ID 122 and VLAN ID 500. In this example, the prefix consists of the hostname router1, the logical system name xyzcorp, and the routing instance name west.



router1/xyzcorp;west:ge-4/1/1:122-500

For Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that use VLANs but not S-VLANs, only the vlan-id value appears in the agent-circuit-id format. For Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that do not use VLANs or S-VLANs, neither the vlan-id value nor the svlan-id value appears.
