Misdirected

Number of packets that was dropped due to having an address that would have caused the packets to be punted.

Anybody got a correct answer on this as the only other pose was about CUBE which has nothing to do with DHCP SNOOPING?

I'am waiting to have more clear response for this

Thanks

hello,

I'm searching for the same question .

Did you have some answers  about what these misdirected packets?

Thanx

Hello,

I've notice the same in my network. I think it is due to the broadcast dhcp packets entering your trusted upstream server interface, originated in others switches belonging to the same vlan and without dhcp snooping enabled. This fact makes dhcp packets being broadcasted to every port and thus reaching other switches. I think if you configure dhcp snooping for your vlan in every swtich, with only upstream interfaces as trusted, you shouldn't see misdirected dropped packets anymore. I hope to test this in a few days.

Regards.
