Saving DHCPv4 Data

After the DHCPv4 data of the NetEngine 8000 F that functions as a DHCPv4 server is saved to a storage device, the data can be restored from the storage device when the NetEngine 8000 F fails.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run dhcp server database enable

    Saving DHCPv4 data to a storage device is enabled.

  3. (Optional) Run dhcp server database write-delay interval

    The delay for saving the data is set.

  4. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.

Follow-up Procedure

The NetEngine 8000 F can save the current DHCPv4 data to a storage device and restore the data from the storage device when the NetEngine 8000 F fails.

DHCPv4 data is saved with a fixed file name on the storage device. Normally, the IP leasing information is saved in the lease.txt file and the address conflict information is saved in the conflict.txt file. Back up these two files to other directories because information in these files is replaced regularly.
