IP Routing Features
Configuring DHCP Relay
Enabling DHCP Relay
The DHCP Relay function is enabled by default on a ProCurve routing switch.
However, if DHCP has been disabled, you can re-enable it by entering the
following command at the global configuration level:
ProCurve(config)# dhcp-relay
To disable the DHCP Relay function, enter the
no
form of the command:
ProCurve(config)# no dhcp-relay
Configuring an IP Helper Address
To add the IP address of a DHCP server for a specified VLAN on a routing
switch, enter the
ip helper-address
command at the VLAN configuration level
as in the following example:
ProCurve(config)# vlan 1
ProCurve(vlan-1)# ip helper-address
<
ip-addr
>
To remove the DHCP server helper address, enter the
no
form of the
command:
ProCurve(vlan-1)# no ip helper-address
<
ip-addr
>
Operating Notes
■
You can configure up to 4000 IP helper addresses on a routing switch. The
helper addresses are shared between the DHCP relay agent and UDP
forwarder feature.
■
A maximum of sixteen IP helper addresses is supported in each VLAN.
