3.4.1 Establishing the Configuration Task

Before configuring the DHCP server based on the interface address pool, familiarize yourself
with the applicable environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required
data. This helps you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
If the DHCP clients and the DHCP server are on the same network segment, the interface address
pool needs to be configured on the S9300&S9300E to allocate IP addresses for the clients, as
shown in
Figure 3-4 Networking diagram for configuring the DHCP server based on the interface address
pool
The interface address pool takes precedence over the global address pool. If an address pool is
configured on an interface, the clients connected to the interface obtain IP addresses from the
interface address pool even if a global address pool is configured. On an S9300&S9300E, only
VLANIF interfaces can be configured with interface address pools.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring the DHCP server based on the VLANIF interface address pool, complete
the following tasks:

Data Preparation
Before configuring the DHCP server based on the VLANIF interface address pool, you need the
following data.

Client
Ensuring that the link between the DHCP clients and the S9300&S9300E works properly
and the DHCP clients can communicate with the S9300&S9300E
(Optional) Configuring the DNS server
(Optional) Configuring the NetBIOS server
Configuring routes from the S9300&S9300E to the DNS server and the NetBIOS server
(The routes are required only when the servers are configured.)
