Specifying A Server's Ip Address For The Dhcp Client; Configuring Self-Defined Dhcp Options - HP 10500 Series Configuration Manual

Step
3. Specify the IP address or the
name of the TFTP server.
4. Specify the bootfile name.

Specifying a server's IP address for the DHCP client

Some DHCP clients must obtain configuration information from a server, such as a TFTP server. You can
specify the IP address of that server in each address pool of the DHCP server. The DHCP server sends the
server's IP address to DHCP clients along with other configuration information.
To specify the IP address of a server:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter DHCP address pool
view.
3. Specify the IP address of a
server.

Configuring self-defined DHCP options

CAUTION:
Be careful when configuring self-defined DHCP options because such configuration may affect DHCP
operation.
By configuring self-defined DHCP options, you can:
Define new DHCP options—New configuration options come out with DHCP development. To
•
support these new options, you can add them into the attribute list of the DHCP server.
• Define existing DHCP options—Vendors use Option 43 to define options that have no unified
definitions in RFC 2132. The self-defined DHCP option enables DHCP clients to obtain
vendor-specific information.
Extend existing DHCP options—When the current DHCP options cannot meet the customers'
•
requirements (for example, you cannot use the dns-list command to configure more than eight DNS
server addresses), you can configure a self-defined option for extension.
To configure a self-defined DHCP option in a DHCP address pool:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter DHCP address pool
view.
