Configuring The Global Address Pool Based Dhcp Server; Enabling The Global Address Pool Mode On Interface(S) - 3Com 4500 PWR 26-Port Configuration Manual

To improve security and avoid malicious attacks to unused sockets, S4500 Ethernet switches provide
the following functions:
UDP port 67 and UDP port 68 ports used by DHCP are enabled only when DHCP is enabled.
UDP port 67 and UDP port 68 ports are disabled when DHCP is disabled.
The corresponding implementation is as follows:
After DHCP is enabled with the dhcp enable command, if the DHCP server and DHCP relay agent
functions are not configured, UDP port 67 and UDP port 68 ports are kept disabled; if the DHCP
server or DHCP relay agent function is configured, UDP port 67 and UDP port 68 ports are
enabled.
After DHCP is disabled with the undo dhcp enable command, even if the DHCP server or DHCP
relay function is configured, UDP port 67 and UDP port 68 ports will be disabled.

Enabling the Global Address Pool Mode on Interface(s)
You can configure the global address pool mode on the specified or all interfaces of a DHCP server.
After that, when the DHCP server receives DHCP packets from DHCP clients through these interfaces,
it assigns IP addresses in the global address pool to the DHCP clients.
Follow these steps to configure the global address pool mode on interface(s):
