DHCP Configuration
DHCP dynamically manages and configures clients in a concentrated manner. It ensures proper IP address allocation and improves IP address use efficiency.
- DHCP Overview
DHCP dynamically manages and configures clients in a centralized manner. DHCP uses the client/server model. A client applies to the server for configurations such as the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway; the server replies with requested configurations based on policies. - DHCP Features Supported by the switch
The device can function as the DHCP relay agent or DHCP server or DHCP client. - Default Configuration
This section provides default DHCP configurations. - Configuring a DHCP Server Based on the Global Address Pool
If a DHCP server based on a global address pool is configured, all online users of the server can obtain IP addresses from this address pool. - Configuring a DHCP Server Based on an Interface Address Pool
After a DHCP server based on an interface address pool is configured, only users that go online from this interface can obtain IP addresses from this address pool. - Configuring a DHCP Relay Agent
By using a DHCP relay agent, a DHCP client can communicate with a DHCP server on another network segment to obtain an IP address and other configuration information. - Enabling the DHCP Client Function
- Maintaining DHCP
After DHCP configurations are complete, you can clear DHCP statistics and monitor DHCP operation. - Configuration Examples
This section provides DHCP configuration examples including networking requirements and configuration roadmap. - Common Configuration Errors
This section provides DHCP troubleshooting procedures.
