Configuring A Dhcp Address Pool (Required); Excluding Ip Addresses (Optional); Enabling The Sftos Dhcp Server Feature (Required); Verifying The Dhcp Server Configuration - Dell Force10 S2410-01-10GE-24P Configuration Manual

Configuring a DHCP address pool (required)

You can configure a DHCP address pool with a name that is a symbolic string (such as "Engineering") or
an integer (such as 0). Configuring a DHCP address pool also places you in DHCP pool configuration
mode, as identified by the "(config-dhcp)#" prompt, from which you can configure pool parameters
(for example, the IP subnet number and default router list). To configure a DHCP address pool, complete
the following required steps. For details on these commands, see the DHCP Server Commands chapter in
the
SFTOS Command Reference

1 ip dhcp pool

2 network

3 default-router

4 dns-server

address2 address8

Excluding IP addresses (optional)

The DHCP server assumes that all IP addresses in a DHCP address pool subnet are available for assigning
to DHCP clients. You must specify the IP address that the DHCP server should not assign to clients.
Use the
ip dhcp excluded-address
partial scopes.

Enabling the SFTOS DHCP Server feature (required)

By default, the SFTOS DHCP Server feature is disabled on the S-Series. Use the
Global Config mode to enable the SFTOS DHCP Server feature:

Specifies the default router list for a DHCP client. After a
DHCP client boots, the client begins sending packets to
its default router. The IP address of the default router
must be on the same subnet as the client.
Specifies the IP address of a DNS server that is available
to a DHCP client. A single IP address can be configured.
