DHCP snooping, can anyone explain what SVI interfaces have to do with snooping

Hello, everyone

  I  build a lab this morning to test dhcp snooping, Sw1 is access Layer and must have DHCP snooping enabled, SW2 is aggregation layer and no DHCP snooping,   VLAN100 is user vlan, and Vlan 200 is servers Vlan.

  Dhcp snooping is working well when SW2 have no SVIs up, and pc1 get the ip address. but here is my problem, pc1 cannot get IP any more after the SVIs in SW is up. I have learnt that DHCP snooping is a Layer 2 measure, so what to do if i need DHCP snooping  with SVIs up on SW2?

any explain will be appreciated.

Hi

On a routed SVI you don't require any dhcp snooping commands as its a layer 2 security feature , is that sw2 working as layer 2 or 3 ? if its layer 2 you shouldn't have multiple SVIs on it as only a mgmt. SVI is really required for reachability

hi mark 

 no, i don't configure dhcp snooping on a L3 port. in my lab, SW2 is a l3 switch, I was using simulator, I found it even in a same configuration, DHCP snooping react differently in differ  virtual IOS, so i guess i need find more information about it and use a real switch evirement. thank you.
