dhcpd VDX 6740 configuration?

Reading through the CLI manual from 7.4.0, there is a dhcpd server since 7.1.0

how does one configure the scope for the dhcpd  I couldn't find anything how the config file should look.  Or it just uses linux based dhcpd.conf like format?

The DHCP service on the VDX is only for DHCP Relay, it does not actually manage/serve out IP addresses, it is just a middle-man.  It will listen for a DHCP request, forward the request to the configured server, receive the response and forward the assigned IP to the requester.  This is all configurable in NOS-CLI, I would not recommend messing around in the Linux shell.
