DHCP Server
This section describes the DHCP server configuration. When a client sends a request to a DHCP
server, the DHCP server assigns the IP address from address pools that are specified on the switch.
The network in the DHCP pool must belong to the same subnet.
Overview
DHCP Server:
• Allows the switch to dynamically assign an IP address to a DHCP client that is attached to the
switch
• Enables the IP address to be assigned based on the client’s MAC address
Examples
The following are examples of how the DHCP Server feature is used.
