Configuring the router

DHCP/BOOTP relay commands

Use the following commands to configure DHCP relay and BOOTP relay:
Use the ip bootp-dhcp network command to select the network from which the
●
BOOTP/DHCP server should allocate an address. This command is required only when
there are multiple IP interfaces over the VLAN. Use the no form of this command to
restore the default value. You must be in interface context to use this command.
Use the ip bootp-dhcp relay command to enable relaying of BOOTP and DHCP
●
requests to the BOOTP/DHCP server. Use the no form of this command to disable
relaying of BOOTP and DHCP requests. You must be in general context to use this
command.
Use the ip bootp-dhcp server command to add a BOOTP/DHCP server to handle
●
BOOTP/DHCP requests received by this interface. A maximum of two servers can be
added to a single interface. Use the no form of this command to remove a server. You
must be in interface context to use this command.

Configuring DHCP server

The G250/G350 supports DHCP server. DHCP server is a protocol for automatically assigning
IP addresses and other configuration parameters to clients on a TCP/IP network. DHCP server
minimizes the maintenance of a network of, among other things, IP telephones and PCs, by
removing the need to assign and maintain IP addresses and other parameters for each device
on the network individually.
Since a DHCP server can be configured on the G250/G350, local branch devices are not
dependant on receiving configuration parameters over the WAN from a remote DHCP server
and therefore can be assigned IP configuration parameters in case of WAN failure.
The G250/G350 supports the following DHCP server features:
Up to 32 DHCP pools
●
Up to 120 users
●
Up to 256 IP addresses for all DHCP pools together
●
Automatic and reservation pools
●
Standard DHCP options and IP phone and wireless special options
●
Vendor specific information option
●
DHCP relay packets
●
Global statistics
●
Syslog/traps for special events
