This ACL will prevent a port from being able to act as a DHCP server and offer IP addresses. This prevents the inadvertent or malicious offering of DHCP IP addresses by users attached to ports of the system. Typically, IP addresses should only be assigned by servers in the Distribution or Core which would be above the OLT in the network and not from endpoints attached to ONT ports. This ACL should be added as a Card Level ACL to the system to minimize ACL resources used as there will only be one instance of the ACL rather than applied to every port with that ACL.
