Parameter
Description
Port Type
The type of a created L3 interface. It can be an SVI, routed port, or L3 aggregate port. For details,
Networking
Specifies DHCP or static mode for a port to obtain the IP address.
VLAN
Specifies the VLAN, to which an SVI belongs.
IP/Mask
When
Networking
is set to
Static IP
, you need to manually enter the IP address and subnet
mask.
Select Port
Select the device port to be configured.
Aggregate
Specifies the aggregate port ID, for example, Ag1, when an L3 aggregate port is created.
DHCP Mode
Select whether to enable the DHCP service on the L3 interface.
Disabled
: Indicates that the DHCP service is disabled. No IP address can be assigned to clients
connected to the interface.
DHCP Server
: Indicates that the device functions as the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to
downlink devices connected to the interface. You need to set the start IP address of an address
pool, number of IP addresses that can be assigned, and address lease; for more information, see
DHCP Relay
: Indicates that the device serves as a DHCP relay, obtains IP addresses from an
external server, and assigns the IP addresses to downlink devices. The interface IP address and
DHCP server IP address need to be configured. The interface IP address must be in the same
network segment as the address pool of the DHCP server.
Excluded IP
Address (Range)
When the device acts as a DHCP server, set the IP address in the address pool that is not used
for assignment

Configuring the DHCP Service
After the DHCP server function is enabled on the L3 interface, the device can assign IP addresses to downlink
devices connected to the port.
