(Optional) Allocating IP Addresses Based on Option 60

When there is no relay device between a DHCP client and a DHCP server, the DHCP server allocates different network segments and VPN addresses based on Option 60 carried in user packets.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run dhcp server base-option60 enable

    # A network-side DHCP server is enabled to allocate IP addresses based on Option 60.

  3. Run ip pool ip-pool-name server

    An address pool is created, and the address pool view is displayed.

  4. Run client-option60 option60-text

    Option 60 carried in user packets of a specified address pool are configured.

    • After the command is run, IP addresses can be allocated by the address pool only when the specified option60–value matches Option 60 carried in user packets.

    • The command can only be configured in the address pool on the DHCP server.

  5. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
