Configures the MSS DHCP server.
Use of the MSS DHCP server to allocate client addresses is intended for
temporary, demonstration deployments and not for production
networks. 3Com recommends that you do not use the MSS DHCP server
to allocate client addresses in a production network.
Syntax —
set interface vlan-id ip dhcp-server [enable |
disable] [start ip-addr1 stop ip-addr2]
vlan-id — VLAN name or number.
enable — Enables the DHCP server.
disable — Disables the DHCP server.
start ip-addr1 — Specifies the beginning address of the address
range (also called the address pool).
stop ip-addr2 — Specifies the ending address of the address range.
Defaults — The DHCP server is enabled by default on a new
(unconfigured) WXR100, in order to provide an IP address to the host
connected to the switch for access to the Web Quick Start. On all switch
models, the DHCP server is enabled and cannot be disabled for directly
connected MAPs.
The DHCP server is disabled by default for any other use.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 4.0.
Usage — By default, all addresses except the host address of the VLAN,
the network broadcast address, and the subnet broadcast address are
included in the range. If you specify the range, the start address must be
lower than the stop address, and all addresses must be in the same
subnet. The IP interface of the VLAN must be within the same subnet but
is not required to be within the range.
