Configuring DHCP serverDHCP server CLI configurationTo configure DHCP server on the G350:1. Use the ip dhcp pool command, followed by a number from 1 to 32, to create a DHCPpool.2. Use the name command to configure the pool’s name.3. Configure a range of available IP addresses that the DHCP server may assign to clients,using start-ip-addr to set the start IP address of the range and end-ip-addr to setthe end IP address of the range. Consider the following:●●●●For a manual/reservation pool, set identical IP addresses for the start and end IPaddresses.The start IP address and end IP address must be on the same network according to thesubnet mask.The start IP address must be lower than the end IP address.The combined number of IP addresses in all pools must not exceed 256 addresses.● The start IP address and end IP address can be in the range of up to 223.255.255.255.● The start IP address and end IP address may not be network/broadcast addressesaccording to the subnet mask.4. Use the subnet-mask command to configure the subnet mask of the pool.5. Use the lease command to configure the lease period for IP address assignment. Bydefault, the lease is eight days.6. For a manual/reservation pool, use the client-identifier command to reserve thepool’s IP address for assignment to a specific client. To configure a reservation, the start IPaddress and end IP address must be identical. You cannot configure more than onereservation on a single pool.7. Configure DHCP options for the pool, if required. See Configuring Options on page 182and, for vendor specific options, Configuring vendor-specific options on page 183.8. Repeat steps 1-7 to configure as many DHCP pools as you require. You can configure up to32 DHCP pools. By default, all pools are inactive until you activate them. This enables youto modify each pool’s configuration without affecting network devices.9. Activate each of the DHCP pools you configured, using the ic dhcp activate poolcommand in general context, followed by the pool number.10. Use the ip dhcp-server command to activate DHCP server. DHCP server is now active.If you change the pool configuration, it is recommended to do so while the pool is active.Issue 3 January 2005 181
