Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

This command applies to DHCP relay agents. If a DHCP server and its DHCP relay agent are on different network segments, you can run the gateway command to specify an egress gateway address for the DHCP relay agent. In this way, the DHCP relay agent can communicate with the DHCP server. Run the gateway-list command to configure an egress gateway for the DHCP server.

Precautions

If an egress gateway is not configured for a DHCP relay agent using the gateway command, the DHCP relay agent uses the interface address as the gateway address to communicate with the DHCP server.
When two switch devices function as the DHCP server and DHCP relay agent respectively, they must use the same egress gateway address.

Example

# Specify the egress gateway address of the server group myServers as 10.10.10.1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] dhcp server group myServers
[HUAWEI-dhcp-server-group-myServers] gateway 10.10.10.1
