No ip dhcp snooping information option

As explained in Acing the CCNA Exam: Volume 2 Advanced Networking and Security

no ip dhcp snooping information option is a Cisco IOS global configuration command that disables DHCP option 82 insertion by DHCP snooping.

This Cisco IOS global configuration command disables DHCP option 82 insertion by DHCP snooping. Without it, switches add option 82 to DHCP messages received on untrusted ports by default. section 13.2.2

Use the command when:

  • A DHCP server or relay would otherwise receive a switch-inserted option 82 and drop the message. section 13.2.2
  • Multiple switches handle the request; disable insertion on every relevant switch, not only the first switch. section 13.2.2

Disable insertion on both switches

SW2(config)# no ip dhcp snooping information option SW1(config)# no ip dhcp snooping information option With insertion disabled on SW1 and SW2, the client’s DISCOVER reaches R1 unchanged. If R1 is a relay agent, it can insert option 82 before forwarding the request. section 13.2.2

How Acing the CCNA Exam: Volume 2 Advanced Networking and Security covers it

How deep it goes
Explains default insertion, untrusted-port rejection, multi-switch configuration, verification, and relay-agent boundaries.
Examples
Uses SW1, SW2, R1, a client DISCOVER, and show ip dhcp snooping output.
What it assumes
Assumes DHCP snooping, trusted and untrusted ports, and DHCP server or relay roles.
What you can do after
Configure and verify option 82 suppression across switches forwarding DHCP requests.
How it connects
Connects DHCP snooping with DHCP option 82, untrusted ports, DHCP servers, and DHCP relay agents.
