8.8.9 DHCP 
Filtering 
 
8.8.9.1 
DHCP Packet Filtering 
For the hiD 6615 S223/S323, it is possible to block the specific client with MAC address. 
If the blocked MAC address by administrator requests IP address, the server does not 
assign IP. This function is to strength the security of DHCP server. 
The following is the function of blocking to assign IP address on a port. 
Command Mode 
Description 
ip dhcp filter-port PORTS
 
Configures a port in order not to assign IP. 
no ip dhcp filter-port PORTS 
Global 
Disables DHCP packet filtering. 
 
The following is to designate MAC address which IP address is not assigned. 
Command Mode 
Description 
ip dhcp filter-address
  MAC-
ADDR
 
Blocks a MAC address in case of requesting IP ad-
dress. 
MAC-ADDR: MAC address 
no ip dhcp filter-address
 
MAC-ADDR
 
Global 
Disables DHCP MAC filtering. 
 
8.8.9.2 
DHCP Server Packet Filtering 
Dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) makes DHCP server assign IP address to 
DHCP clients automatically and manage the IP address. Most ISP operators provide the 
service as such a way. At this time, if a DHCP client connects with the equipment that can 
be the other DHCP server such as Internet access gateway router, communication failure 
might be occurred. 
DHCP filtering helps to operate DHCP service by blocking DHCP request which enters 
through subscriber’s port and goes out into uplink port or the other subscriber’s port and 
DHCP reply which enters to the subscriber’s port. 
In the Fig. 8.34, server A has the IP area from 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.10.10. Suppose a 
user connects with client 3 that can be DHCP server to A in order to share IP address 
from 10.1.1.1 to 10.1.1.10. 
Here, if client 1 and client 2 are not blocked from client 3 of DHCP server, client 1 and cli-
ent 2 will request and receive IP from client 3 so that communication blockage will be oc-
curred. Therefore, the filtering function should be configured between client 1 and client 3, 
client 2 and client 3 in order to make client 1 and client 2 receive IP without difficulty from 
DHCP server A.
