Configuring a DHCPv4 Server Group
A DHCPv4 server group is required only when a remote address pool is used to assign IP addresses to users that use a BAS interface for access.
Usage Scenario
The NetEngine 8000 F can be used as a DHCPv4 server to assign IP addresses to users. A remote DHCPv4 server can also be used with the NetEngine 8000 F functioning as a DHCPv4 relay agent to assign IP addresses to users.
When IP addresses are allocated by a remote DHCPv4 server, you need to configure the IP address of the remote DHCPv4 server on the NetEngine 8000 F. This allows the NetEngine 8000 F to communicate with the DHCPv4 server. The NetEngine 8000 F manages DHCPv4 servers by using DHCPv4 server groups.
A DHCPv4 server group is required only when the remote address pool is used to assign IP addresses to BAS-side users.
- Creating a DHCPv4 Server Group
- DHCPv4 servers in a DHCPv4 server group can work in load balancing, polling, or master/backup mode.
- Associating an IP Address Pool with a DHCPv4 Server Group
- Only remote IP address pools need to be associated with DHCPv4 server groups.
- Verifying the DHCPv4 Server Group Configuration
- After configuring DHCPv4 server groups, verify the configurations of these DHCPv4 server groups.
