Configuring DHCP Features
The port numbers in the port field of the circuit ID suboption start at 0. For example, on a
Catalyst 2950G-24-EI switch, port 0 is the Fast Ethernet 0/1 port, port 1 is the Fast Ethernet 0/2 port,
port 2 is the Fast Ethernet 0/3 port, and so on. Port 24 is the Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC)-based
Gigabit module slot 0/1, and port 25 is the GBIC-based Gigabit module slot 0/2.

switch uses the packet formats when DHCP snooping is globally enabled and when the ip dhcp
snooping information option global configuration command is entered. For the circuit ID suboption,
the module field is always zero
