Configuring IP parameters – Layer 3 Switches
Creating an address pool
The ip dhcp-server pool command puts you in pool configuration mode, and allows you to create an
address pool.
Brocade(config)# ip dhcp-server pool
Brocade(config-dhcp-name)# ip dhcp-server pool monterey
Brocade(config-dhcp-monterey)#
These commands create an address pool named monterey.
Syntax: ip dhcp-server pool name
Configuration notes for creating an address pool
•
If the DHCP server address is part of a configured DHCP address pool, you must exclude the
DHCP server address from the network pool. Refer to
“Specifying addresses to exclude from
•
While in DHCP server pool configuration mode, the system will place the DHCP server pool in
pending mode and the DHCP server will not use the address pool to distribute information to
clients. To activate the pool, use the deploy command. Refer to
Enabling relay agent echo (Option 82)
The ip dhcp-server relay-agent-echo enable command activates DHCP Option 82, and enables the
DHCP server to echo relay agent information in all replies.
Brocade(config)# ip dhcp-server relay-agent-echo enable
Syntax: ip dhcp-server relay-agent-echo enable
Configuring the IP address of the DHCP server
The ip dhcp-server command specifies the IP address of the selected DHCP server, as shown in this
example:
Brocade(config)# ip dhcp-server 192.168.1.144
Syntax: ip dhcp-server server-identifier
•
server-identifier - The IP address of the DHCP server
This command assigns an IP address to the selected DHCP server.
Configuring the boot image
The bootfile command specifies a boot image name to be used by the DHCP client.
Brocade(config-dhcp-cabo)# bootfile foxhound
In this example, the DHCP client should use the boot image called “foxhound”.
Syntax: bootfile name
