Function

The dhcp-server command adds DHCP servers to a DHCP server group.

The undo dhcp-server command deletes DHCP servers from a DHCP server group.

By default, no DHCP server is configured in a DHCP server group.

undo dhcp-server { ip-address | ip-address-index }

ip-address-index	When you specify the IP address for a DHCP server, you can specify ip-address-index for the IP address. If you do not specify the server index, the system assigns an idle index to the server.	The value is an integer that ranges from 0 to 19.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The dhcp-server command applies to DHCP relay agents. To ensure that the DHCP relay agent can forward messages to multiple DHCP servers, configure multiple DHCP servers in a DHCP server group.

Precautions

Each DHCP server group can be configured with a maximum of twenty DHCP servers. You can delete a DHCP server by specifying ip-address-index.
If a VPN instance is bound to an interface, the DHCP server group must be bound to this VPN instance.
