We have some wireless hardware that can proxy any DHCP requests it sees and tacks on an option 82 record that identifies the endpoint. When this DHCP packet hits the router it is dropped. The logs say "Do not trust Packet with Option-82, discarding"

forwarding-options {
    dhcp-relay {
        server-group {
            dhcpservers {
                1.2.3.4;
                1.2.3.5;
            }
        }
        group dhcp-test {
            active-server-group dhcpservers;
            interface vlan.10;
        }
    }
}

I have also tried using the simpler bootp handler which also dropped the DHCP packet. Is there a way to relay these?

Hello ,

Can you try the following confirguration : http://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content&id=KB15755&smlogin=true .

make sure the DHCP services are enabled on the Client connecting and server connecting interfaces .

Here's the new config

forwarding-options {
    helpers {
        bootp {
            server 64.79.51.243;
            maximum-hop-count 15;
            interface {
                vlan.10;
            }
        }
    }
}

Packets are still being dropped

And, actually, dhcp relaying doesn't work at all in this new configuration. I disabled the setting of Option 82 on the wireless gear and the request is still being dropped.

I ran:

restart dhcp

and all is now well. 

Hello ,

Thanks for the update .
