ExtremeWare Software 7.3.0 Command Reference Guide 841
configure vlan dhcp-address-range
configure vlan <vlan-name> dhcp-address-range <start-addr> - <end-addr>
{<mask>}
Description
Configures a set of DHCP addresses for a VLAN.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
This command configures in the switch a set of DHCP addresses for a particular VLAN. The configured
address range can be for a local subnet (the range falls in one of the local subnets of the switch) or a
remote subnet (the configured IP address does not fall in any of the local subnets of the switch).
To configure address ranges for a remote subnet the optional parameter
mask
must be provided.
To configure address ranges for a local subnet the parameter
mask
should not be provided.
You can configure a maximum of 64 local and remote address ranges.
Example
You can allocate IP addresses for a remote subnet (non-local subnet) using the DHCP server. The
following command gives an example of configuring DHCP address ranges for a remote subnet using
the subnet 60.0.0.x/24 in the VLAN named
test :
configure vlan test dhcp-address-range 60.0.0.5 - 60.0.0.40 mask 255.255.255.0
NOTE
The mask option is required when configuring the DHCP address range for the remote subnet.

enhanced command was made available in ExtremeWare 7.3.0.
