Vlan Dhcp Mac - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6850-48 Cli Reference Manual

vlan dhcp mac

Defines a DHCP MAC address rule for an existing VLAN. If a DHCP frame received on any mobile port
contains a source MAC address that matches the MAC address specified in the rule, the frame's mobile
port is temporarily assigned to the rule's VLAN.

Usage Guidelines
•
Use the no form of this command to delete a DHCP MAC address rule from the specified VLAN.
•
Port mobility software checks for and processes DHCP traffic first on an active mobile port. When a
mobile port receives a DHCP frame that matches a DHCP rule, the port is temporarily assigned to the
VLAN long enough to forward the DHCP requests within the VLAN broadcast domain. The source
MAC address of the DHCP frame, however, is not learned for that VLAN port association.
•
Once a DHCP device has obtained an IP address, its non-DHCP traffic must match other VLAN rules
within the same VLAN for the device to remain a member of that VLAN. If this match occurs, then the
frame source is learned in the matching rule VLAN.
•
DHCP rules are most often used in combination with IP network address rules. A DHCP client has an
IP address of all zeros (0.0.0.0) until it receives an IP address from a DHCP server, so it would not
match any IP network address rules.
•
Binding rules, MAC address rules, and protocol rules also capture DHCP client traffic. The exception
to this is binding rules that specify an IP address as part of the rule, similar to IP network address rule
definitions.
•
Rules are only assigned to existing VLANs. Use the vlan command to create a new VLAN.
