IPv6 DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) snooping is a security feature that monitors DHCPv6 messages between a DHCPv6 client and DHCPv6 servers to filter harmful DHCPv6 messages and to build a bindings database of {MAC address, IPv6 address, VLAN ID, port} tuples that are considered authorized. You can enable IPv6 DHCP snooping globally and on specific VLANs, and configure ports within the VLAN to be trusted or untrusted. If a DHCPv6 message arrives on an untrusted port, IPv6 DHCP snooping filters messages that are not from authorized DHCPv6 clients. DHCPv6 server messages are forwarded only through trusted ports.
