HOW to Enable a DHCP service and relay the same in HP A5500 series Switch.

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
 
Post creating the DHCP IP pool this needs to be tagged to a VLAN for Activiation.


 Create a Vlan on the Switch

[SERVER_SWITCH] vlan 20
[SERVER_SWITCH] interface vlan 20
[SERVER_SWITCH-Vlan-interface 20] IP address 192.168.12.1 255.255.255.0
[SERVER_SWITCH-Vlan-interface 20]dhcp server apply ip-pool <name of the IP-pool>

Note : Only DHCP Extended IP-Pool is supported with this command.


DHCP SERVER CONFIGURATION IS COMPLETE .

To flow the DHCP service to an interface please tag the interface the to the specified vlan.
