Configure DHCP
Sample configuration
Symptoms
'set dhcp'
Cause
As of the firmware versions stated above, the SecureStack product line supports the ability to act as a DHCP Server. This document provides background regarding that feature.
Solution
A total of 16 DHCP address pools, dynamic and/or static, may be configured per stack. All IP addresses must belong to the same IP subnet as is used by the switch host ('set ip address...'); or if routing is enabled, may alternatively belong to the same subnet as that of a local routed interface.
Shown below are the available 'set dhcp' commands. The 'clear dhcp' and 'show dhcp' commands are also available, but for brevity are not listed here.
C2(rw)->set dhcp ?

assign to DHCP clients.

server.
