Dhcp Server; Enabling And Disabling Dhcp - Extreme Networks ExtremeWare XOS Guide Manual

Security
NOTE
Blackhole FDB entries added due to MAC security violations on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the
Summit X450 switch are removed after each FDB aging period regardless of whether the MAC addresses in question
are still sending traffic. If the MAC addresses are still sending traffic, the blackhole entries will be re-added after
they have been deleted.
Locked entries do not get aged, but can be deleted like a regular permanent entry.
For ports that have lock-down in effect, the following traffic still flows to the port:
Packets destined for the permanent MAC and other non-blackholed MAC addresses
●
Broadcast traffic
●
EDP traffic
●
Traffic from the permanent MAC still flows from the virtual port.
To remove MAC address lock down, use the
configure ports <portlist> vlan <vlan name> [limit-learning <number> | lock-learning |
unlimited-learning | unlock-learning]
When you remove the lock down using the unlock-learning option, the learning-limit is reset to
unlimited, and all associated entries in the FDB are flushed.

DHCP Server

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) support was introduced into ExtremeWare XOS in
release 11.0. In simple terms, a DHCP server dynamically manages and allocates IP addresses to clients.
When a client accesses the network, the DHCP server provides an IP address to that client. The client is
not required to receive the same IP address each time it accesses the network. A DHCP server with
limited configuration capabilities is included in the switch to provide IP addresses to clients.

DHCP is enabled on a per port, per VLAN basis. To enable or disable DHCP on a port in a VLAN, use
one of the following commands:
enable dhcp ports <portlist> vlan <vlan_name>
