Parameter
ip ip-address: IP address of the BIMS server.
port port-number: Number of the protocol port on the BIMS server, in the range 1 to
65534.
sharekey key: Shared key of the BIMS server, which can be 1 to 16 characters in
length.
interface-type interface-number [ to interface-type interface-number ]: Indicates an
interface or all interfaces from the first specified interface to the second. Note that the
interfaces must be Ethernet interfaces (or subinterfaces) or virtual Ethernet interfaces.
all: Indicates all interfaces configured with interface address pools.
Description
Use the dhcp server bims-server interface command to enable and configure BIMS
option support for an interface or all interfaces configured with interface address pools.
Use the undo dhcp server bims-server command to disable BIMS option support for
an interface or all interfaces configured with interface address pools.
After you configure BIMS option support on the DHCP server, the DHCP server
encapsulates the BIMS option information in the DHCP_OFFER and DHCP_ACK
packets sent to the DHCP clients according to these rules:
z If you configure BIMS option support for an interface, the DHCP server sends the
BIMS option information together with the lease when assigning an IP address
from the interface address pool to a DHCP client.
z If you specify the all keyword in the dhcp server bims-server command, the
DHCP server sends the BIMS option information together with the lease when
assigning an IP address from any of the interface address pools to a DHCP client.
By default, BIMS option support is not configured on the DHCP server.
