when forwarding server DHCP packets to a DHCP client. The DHCP server can use this information to implement IP
address or other assignment policies. Specifically the option works by setting two sub-options: Circuit ID (option 1) and
Remote ID (option2). The Circuit ID sub-option is supposed to include information specific to which circuit the request
came in on. The Remote ID sub-option was designed to carry information relating to the remote host end of the circuit.
The definition of Circuit ID in the switch is 4 bytes in length and the format is "vlan_id" "module_id" "port_no". The
parameter of "vlan_id" is the first two bytes represent the VLAN ID. The parameter of "module_id" is the third byte for
the module ID (in standalone switch it always equal 0, in stackable switch it means switch ID). The parameter of
"port_no" is the fourth byte and it means the port number.
The Remote ID is 6 bytes in length, and the value is equal the DHCP relay agent¡¦s MAC address.
DHCP Snooping
DHCP Snooping is used to block intruder on the untrusted ports of DUT when it tries to intervene by injecting a bogus
DHCP reply packet to a legitimate conversation between the DHCP client and server.
DNS
DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System. It stores and associates many types of information with domain names.
Most importantly, DNS translates human-friendly domain names and computer hostnames into computer-friendly IP
addresses. For example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 192.168.0.1.
DoS
DoS is an acronym for Denial of Service. In a denial-of-service (DoS) attack, an attacker attempts to prevent legitimate
users from accessing information or services. By targeting at network sites or network connection, an attacker may be
able to prevent network users from accessing email, web sites, online accounts (banking, etc.), or other services that
rely on the affected computer.
Dotted Decimal Notation
Dotted Decimal Notation refers to a method of writing IP addresses using decimal numbers and dots as separators
between octets.
An IPv4 dotted decimal address has the form x.y.z.w, where x, y, z, and w are decimal numbers between 0 and 255.
DSCP
DSCP is an acronym for Differentiated Services Code Point. It is a field in the header of IP packets for packet
classification purposes.
E
Ethernet Type
Ethernet Type, or EtherType, is a field in the Ethernet MAC header, defined by the Ethernet networking standard. It is
used to indicate which protocol is being transported in an Ethernet frame.
