Creating Network Pool; Creating Host Pool; Troubleshooting Dhcp Configuration - Motorola WS5100 Series Migration Giude

6.3.1 Creating network pool

Follow the steps below to create a network pool using the CLI:
1. Create a DHCP Server dynamic address pool.
WS5100(config)#ip dhcp pool test
2. Map the DHCP pool to the network pool.
WS5100(config-dhcp)#network 192.168.0.0/24
3. Add the address range for the dynamic pool.
WS5100(config-dhcp)#address range 192.168.0.30 192.168.0.60
4. Assign a domain name as appropriate to this dynamic pool.
WS5100(config-dhcp)#domain-name test.com
5. Configure the DNS servers IP address.
WS5100(config-dhcp)#dns-server 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.11
6. Configure the DHCP clients IP address lease period.
WS5100(config-dhcp)#lease 10
7. Exit the DHCP instance on creation of the network pool.
WS5100(config-dhcp)#exit
8. Start the DHCP Server to instantiate the network pool.
WS5100(config)#service dhcp

6.3.2 Creating host pool

1. Create a DHCP Server host address pool.
WS5100(config)#ip dhcp pool hostpool
2. Assign the client name of the host for which static allocation is required.
WS5100(config-dhcp)#client-name linuxbox
3. Assign an IP Address for the host.
WS5100(config-dhcp)#host 192.168.0.50
4. Configure the hardware address of the host.
WS5100(config-dhcp)#hardware 00:a0:f8:6f:6b:88
5. Exit from the DHCP instance on creation of the network pool.
WS5100(config-dhcp)#exit
6. Start the DHCP Server to instantiate the network pool.
WS5100(config)#service dhcp

6.3.3 Troubleshooting DHCP configuration

1. DHCP Server is disabled by default. Use the following command to enable DHCP Server.
WS5100(config)#service dhcp
This command will administratively enable the DHCP server. In case the DHCP configuration is
incomplete, then it is possible that the DHCP server will be operationally disabled even after the
execution of this CLI.
