HP A5500 SERIES DHCP SERVER SERVICE.


Step 1 : Enable the DHCP service on the Switch

[SERVER_SWITCH] dhcp enable


Step 2 : Create a Extended DHCP IP-POOL to populate the IP range to be used for the IP resource allocation for the client.

Commands syntax :-

 [SERVER_SWITCH]dhcp server ip-pool <Name or Number> extended
 [SERVER_SWITCH] network ip range 192.168.12.0 192.168.12.253
 [SERVER_SWITCH] network mask 255.255.255.0
 [SERVER_SWITCH] gateway-list 4.2.2.2
 [SERVER_SWITCH] dns-list 8.8.8.8


Output: -

dhcp server ip-pool manju extended
 network ip range 192.168.12.0 192.168.12.253
 network mask 255.255.255.0
 gateway-list 4.2.2.2
 dns-list 8.8.8.8
