Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Configuring a DHCP Server
Enter these commands:
Syntax: tftp-server <A.B.C.D>
Syntax: ntp-server <A.B.C.D>
Syntax: timezone-offset <-12 to 12>
Specifying a Domain Name for the Subnet
If your organization wants users to have the organization’s domain name, you
should configure the DHCP server to issue this name with the IP address.
Specify the domain name for the subnet from the configuration mode context
of the corresponding DHCP server pool:
Syntax: domain-name <domain name>
Do not include the period before the name. For example:
ProCurve(config-dhcp)# domain-name procurve.com
Specifying a Bootfile
DHCP clients that do not store the correct boot software on an internal flash
drive can receive a bootfile from a TFTP server. If your ProCurve Secure
Router serves as the DHCP server for such clients, it should notify these
clients:
■ which bootfile to use
■ the address for the TFTP server
Enter this command from the DHCP pool configuration mode context to
specify the boot file:
Syntax: bootfile <filename>
Enter the name of a file exactly as it is stored on the TFTP server.
You must also specify the address of the TFTP server. From the DHCP pool
configuration mode context, enter this command:
Syntax: tftp-server <A.B.C.D>
For example, enter:
ProCurve(config-dhcp)# bootfile ClientBoot.biz
ProCurve(config-dhcp)# tftp-server 192.168.1.15
