Usage Guidelines

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 client. After the name of the server from which the DHCP client obtains the startup configuration file is configured using the sname command, the DHCP client obtains the startup configuration file from this server.

Precautions

Ensure that the route between the DHCP client and the file server from which the DHCP client obtains the startup configuration file is reachable.

Example

# In the IP address pool view, configure the name of the server from which the DHCP client obtains the startup configuration file as example.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] ip pool p1
[HUAWEI-ip-pool-p1] sname example

# In the DHCP Option template view, configure the name of the server from which the DHCP client obtains the startup configuration file as Huawei.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] dhcp option template template1
[HUAWEI-dhcp-option-template-template1] sname Huawei
