Task Remarks
Enabling DHCP
Required
Enable DHCP globally.
By default, global DHCP is disabled.
Creating a Static Address Pool
for the DHCP Server
Creating a Dynamic Address
Pool for the DHCP Server
Required to configure either of the two
If the DHCP server and DHCP clients are on the same subnet, make sure
the address pool is on the same network segment as the interface with
the DHCP server enabled; otherwise, the clients will fail to obtain IP
addresses.
If a DHCP client obtains an IP address via a DHCP relay agent, an IP
address pool on the same network segment as the DHCP relay agent
interface must be configured; otherwise, the client will fail to obtain an IP
address.
Enabling the DHCP Server on
an Interface
Optional
With the DHCP server enabled on an interface, upon receiving a client’s
request, the DHCP server will assign an IP address from its address pool to
the DHCP client.
With DHCP enabled, interfaces work in the DHCP server mode.
An interface cannot serve as both the DHCP server and the DHCP relay
agent. The latest configuration takes effect.
The DHCP server works on interfaces with IP addresses manually
configured only.
Enabling DHCP
Select Network > DHCP from the navigation tree to enter the default DHCP Server page shown in
Figure 26-7 . Enable or disable DHCP on the upper part of the page.
