Usage Scenario
Besides assigning IP addresses, a DHCP server can also provide the required network configuration parameters, such as the startup configuration file name for the DHCP clients. After the name of the startup configuration file is configured using the dhcp server bootfile command, the Offer and ACK packets sent from the DHCP server carry this file name. The DHCP client can acquire the startup configuration file from the specified server based on the file name.
Prerequisites
IP addresses in the interface address pool have been configured using the ip address command.
The DHCP server function has been enabled on the interface using the dhcp select interface command.
