Command: >set dhcp option_code
Syntax: set dhcp option_code code value
Explanation:

Parameters:
code RFC specific option code has to be mentioned
value corresponding option value. It may be string or numeric.
Command: >set dhcp netbios_server
Syntax: set dhcp netbios_server ipaddr1 [ipaddr2] [ipaddr3] [ipaddr4]
Explanation:
Use this command to specify the netbios server available for a client. One ILP address is required
although the user can specify up to four IP addresses.
Screen Dump:
Parameters:
ipaddr1
ipaddr2
ipaddr3
ipaddr4
Command: >set dhcp subnet network
Syntax: set dhcp subnet network name network_addr netmask
Explanation:
To specify a subnet declaration the user must input the subnet network number and netmask using
this command. A subnet without this parameter is invalid.
Screen Dump:
Parameters:
name name of the subnet
network_addr IP address of the dhcp subnet
netmask the bit combination that specifies which part of the address refers to the
network and which part refers to the host
Command: >set dhcp ip_range
Syntax: set dhcp ip_range name start_addr end_addr
Explanation: This is used to specify the IP address range that is available for this subnet. If clients on a
subnet are to be assigned addresses dynamically, the range must be mentioned for that
subnet. Also, the address range should fall within the network mentioned by the previous
command.
Parameters: Name name of the subnet
start_addr start IP address
end_addr end IP address (should not be less than the start address)
Command: >set dhcp subnet bootp
Syntax: set dhcp subnet bootp permission
Explanation: This command specifies whether dynamic bootp is allowed in this subnet or not. If the user
sets it at ‘YES’, the dhcp server responds with a bootp request and assigns a proper
address for the bootp client; otherwise, the dhcp server ignores the bootp client request and
only supports the dhcp client.
Parameters: permission possible values are On and OFF
