remote-id (DHCP Relay Agent)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Specify the Agent Remote ID suboption (suboption 2) of the DHCP relay agent information option (option 82) to include in DHCP packets destined for a DHCP server. Optionally specify that the suboption includes a prefix, textual description, or VLAN tag.

Note:

For Layer 3 interfaces, when you configure relay-option-82 only, the Agent Remote ID is the default If no VLAN tags are configured, then the default is the logical interface device (IFL) name. For integrated routing and bridging (IRB) interfaces, the default is the Layer 2 IFL name and bridge domain name.

The interface to bridge domain relationship may be implicit (the interface is mapped to the bridge domain by the system based on VLAN tag) or explicit (the interface is mapped to the bridge domain by configuring it in the bridge domain definition). For the explicit case, tagging might not be relevant for the mapping.

The format of the Agent Remote ID information for Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that do not use virtual LANs (VLANs), stacked VLANs (S-VLANs), or bridge domains is as follows:

Note:

For remote systems, the subunit is required and is used to differentiate an interface.

The format of the Agent Remote ID information for Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that use VLANs is as follows:

The format of the Agent Remote ID information for Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that use S-VLANs is as follows:

In the case of an IRB interface, the format displays the Layer 2 interface instead of the IRB interface along with the bridge domain name. For IRB interfaces (or other pseudo devices) the default format is as follows:

  • IRB interfaces that use bridge domains but do not use VLANs or S-VLANs:

  • IRB interfaces that use VLANs:

To include the IRB interface name with the Layer 2 interface name, configure the include-irb-and-l2 statement. The format is as follows:

  • IRB interfaces that use bridge domains but do not use VLANs or S-VLANs:

  • IRB interfaces that use VLANs:

To include only the IRB interface name without the Layer 2 interface and bridge domain or VLAN, configure the no-vlan-interface-name statement. The format is as follows:

The remaining statements are explained separately. Search for a statement in CLI Explorer or click a linked statement in the Syntax section for details.

Release
Description
21.2R1
Starting with Junos OS Release 21.2R1, QFX Series switches support the remote-id CLI statement in a stateless DHCP relay configuration. You can configure stateless DHCP relay using the forward-only CLI statement at the [edit forwarding-options dhcp-relay] hierarchy level.
