Task Remarks
Enabling the DHCP server on an
interface
Optional
With the DHCP server enabled on an interface, upon receiving a client’s
request, the DHCP server will assign an IP address from its address pool
to the DHCP client.
With DHCP enabled, interfaces work in the DHCP server mode.
IMPORTANT:
• An interface cannot serve as both the DHCP server and the DHCP
relay agent. The latest configuration takes effect.
• The DHCP server works on interfaces with IP addresses manually
configured only.
