DHCP broadcast packets sent by the  client, therefore  no  DHCP  packets  will be  sent to the 
client by the server. In this case, a DHCP relay is required to forward such DHCP packets so 
that the DHCP packets exchange can be completed between the DHCP client and server.  
Switch can  act as both  a  DHCP  server and a  DHCP relay.  DHCP  server supports not only 
dynamic IP address assignment, but also manual IP address binding (i.e. specify a specific IP 
address to a specified MAC address or specified device ID over a long period. The differences 
and relations between dynamic IP address allocation and manual IP address binding are: 1) IP 
address obtained dynamically can be different every time; manually bound IP address will be 
the same all the time. 2) The lease period of IP address obtained dynamically is the same as 
the lease period of the address pool, and is limited; the lease of manually bound IP address is 
theoretically endless. 3) Dynamically allocated address cannot be bound manually. 4) Dynamic 
DHCP address pool can inherit the network configuration parameters of the dynamic DHCP 
address pool of the related segment. 
29.2 DHCP Server Configuration 
DHCP Sever Configuration Task List: 
1.  Enable/Disable DHCP service 
2.  Configure DHCP Address pool 
(1) Create/Delete DHCP Address pool 
(2) Configure DHCP address pool parameters 
(3) Configure manual DHCP address pool parameters 
3.  Enable logging for address conflicts 
1.  Enable/Disable DHCP service 
Command 
Explanation 
Global Mode 
service dhcp 
no service dhcp 
Enable  DHCP  server.  The  no  command 
disables DHCP server. 
Port Mode 
ip dhcp disbale 
no ip dhcp disable 
The  port  disables  DHCP  services,  the  no 
command enables DHCP services. 
2.  Configure DHCP Address pool 
(1) Create/Delete DHCP Address pool 
Command 
Explanation 
Global Mode 
ip dhcp pool <name> 
Configure  DHCP  Address  pool.  The  no
