Configuring the DHCP Server
This switch includes a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server that can assign temporary IP addresses to any attached host
requesting service. It can also provide other network settings such as the
domain name, default gateway, Domain Name Servers (DNS), Windows
Internet Naming Service (WINS) name servers, or information on the
bootup file for the host device to download.
Addresses can be assigned to clients from a common address pool
configured for a specific IP interface on this switch, or fixed addresses can
be assigned to hosts based on the client identifier code or MAC address.
Command Usage
• First configure any excluded addresses, including the address for this
switch.
• Then configure address pools for the network interfaces. You can
configure up to 8 network address pools. You can also manually bind an
address to a specific client if required. However, any fixed addresses
must fall within the range of an existing network address pool. You can
configure up to 32 fixed host addresses (i.e., entering one address per
pool).
• If the DHCP server is running, you must disable it and then reenable it
to implement any configuration changes. This can be done on the
DHCP, Server, General page.
