Huawei V100R006C00 - Configuring the DHCP Server

l Ensuring that there is no *.cfg or *.zip file except the *web.zip and web.zip files in the
flash memory of each switch
l Ensuring that the switches are not added to any HGMP cluster and USB upgrade
Data Preparation
To deploy unconfigured switches, you need the following data.
N
o.
Data
1 Interconnection information about the upstream interfaces on each S5700 and the
downstream interfaces on the DHCP relay
2 Interconnection information about the DHCP relay and DHCP server
3 MAC address of each unconfigured switch
4 IP address, mask, address pool, and Option 150 or Option 14x of the DHCP server
5 IP address, mask, and relay address of the DHCP relay
6 IP address, default configuration file, and configuration files on the FTP/TFTP server
1.4.2 Configuring the DHCP Server
Context
The configuration procedure varies according to the device type of the DHCP server. Therefore,
the configuration procedure is not described and only the configuration contents are provided.
NOTE
The DHCP server must support either Option 150 or Option 14x.
Procedure
l Enable DHCP server.
l Configure an address pool, including the address range, gateway, and Option 150 (or Option
14x).
NOTE
Pay attention to the following points when configuring Option 150 or Option 14x:
l When new switches obtain configuration files through TFTP, the DHCP server must support
Option 150.
l When new switches obtain configuration files through FTP, the DHCP server must support
Option 141, Option 142, and Option 143.
l If both Option 150 and Option 14x are configured on the DHCP server, Option 150 takes
precedence over Option 14x.
l If you use ordinary characters to configure Option 150 or Option 143 on the DHCP server, the
Auto-Config module cannot recognize the IP address.
