Quick Steps to Configure Internal DHCP Server

DHCP server software is installed on the OmniSwitch to centrally manage IP addresses and other TCP/IP
configuration settings for clients present on a network.
Follow the steps in this section for a quick tutorial on how to configure an internal DHCP server on the
OmniSwitch.
Note. For detailed information on how to configure the DHCP server on OmniSwitch, see the
DHCP Server on OmniSwitch
VitalQIP documentation for additional information.
1
Navigate to /flash/switch directory.
-> cd /flash/switch
2
Create and customize the dhcp.conf and dhcpd.pcy files according to your requirements. Use the vi
command to modify the existing configuration file.
Note: Both the dhcpd.conf and dhcpd.pcy files must be present for the DHCP server to be enabled.
-> vi dhcpd.conf
Declare dynamic DHCP options, global options, and server configuration parameters for client interfaces
in the dhcpd.conf file. Add DHCP related information for a particular subnet.
For example, for the subnet 200.0.0.0, define the dynamic DHCP range, router option, domain name and
other details using the following code:
server-identifier sample.example.com;
subnet 200.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
{
dynamic-dhcp range 200.0.0.10 200.0.0.11
{
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option routers 200.0.0.254;
option domain-name-servers 200.0.0.99;
option domain-name "example.com";
option dhcp-lease-time 30000;
}
}
