DHCP Server service on 5406zl switch

[RRosas]

Hi,

How I can enable DHCP Server on the 5406zl switch? Can I do it?

For example, on some routers I can do this:

ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.198.1 192.168.198.149
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.198.170 192.168.198.254
no ip dhcp relay information check

ip dhcp pool test
network 192.168.198.0 255.255.255.0
domain-name test.com
default-router 192.168.198.11
dns-server 192.168.91.5
netbios-name-server 192.168.91.5

On the 5406zl switch, can I do something similar?

P.S. This thread has been moved from Switches, Hubs, Modems (Legacy ITRC forum) to ProCurve / ProVision-Based. - Hp Forum moderator

basically, no...

the dhcp service on procurve switches only supports connected devices going for web-auth on an 802.1X platform...

for normal device dhcp needs, you need an external dhcp server...

Hey,

I realise this is an ancient topic, however for people searching for this information i would like to update this topic:

HP introduced a DHCP-server function with one of the newer firmware releases.

Try firmware K15.14.xxxx or search the release notes.

I have a 5406 with firmware K15.16.0005 and here are some commands you can look into for setting up dhcp.

in your vlan configuration:

Conf t

vlan X

you can set dhcp-server with command "dhcp-server"

this enables the vlan for dhcp-server use.

Next setup a dhcp server with pools and enable the dhcp server:

in normal config mode, no vlan context:

(Config)#

dhcp-server pool "yourpoolname here"

dhcp-server pool "yourpoolname here" network "your ipnetwork and mask"

dhcp-server pool "yourpoolname here" default-router "gateway adres here"

dhcp-server pool "yourpoolname here" domain-name "your domain name"

additionally you can add dhcp options, lease time, exclusions, static ip adresses reservations and a ip range to hand out.

for example:

dhcp-server pool "yourpoolname here" range "start ip adres here" "end ip adres here"

dhcp-server pool "yourpoolname here" lease 02:00:00      <- this sets your lease time to 48 hours

finally you can (globally) enable the dhcp-server using:

dhcp-server enable

Below you wil find a cut and paste from the configuration file.

vlan 100

   name "DCR-Services"

   untagged B1-B11

   ip address 10.128.100.1 255.255.255.0

   dhcp-server

   exit

dhcp-server pool "DCR-Services"

   authoritative

   default-router "10.128.100.1"

   domain-name "proef.tuin"

   lease 02:00:00

   network 10.128.100.0 255.255.255.0

   range 10.128.100.51 10.128.100.200

   exit

dhcp-server enable

HI Dear I have created the following DHCP POOL in COnfiguraiton mode

dhcp-server pool VLAN30
dhcp-server pool VLAN30 network 172.16.30.0 255.255.255.0
dhcp-server pool VLAN30 default-router 172.16.30.1
dhcp-server pool VLAN30 dns-server 62.215.6.4

But after enabling the dhcp Server in Configuration Mode i got this error. 

No valid pool has been configured. 

Please help.

try adding:

dhcp-server pool VLAN30 authoritive
dhcp-server pool VLAN30 pool 172.16.30.100  172.16.30.200

[Michael Patmon]

I think you mean range instead of pool, but that should do it.

dhcp-server pool "test"

   range 172.16.30.100 172.16.30.200

HI i want to configure DHCP pools for each vlan ( per vlan DCHP configuration on HP E5412 zl Switch ) kindly help me in this regards

Thanks

To create DHCP pools per VLAN, each VLAN needs a unique subnet and the switch needs an IP on that subnet. Then it is simply a matter to create a pool with a unique name for each network.

[WonderWOW]

I love this thread . Question . What if I wanted to set up an Helper address for the vlan ? Would it just point to an address in the pool or do I need to set up another pool? 

[BjKo]

The helper points to a DHCP server outside of the VLAN where the request comes from. It is usually configured on the gateway router of the VLAN.

The switch needs to have routing enabled and nedds a route to the DHCP server. It then forwards the request from the VLAN to the external DHCP server.

Hi,

Run DHCP enable command under the pool as below:

CoreSw(config)# dhcp-server pool "Wireless-Access-Point"
CoreSw(Wireless-Access-Point)# range 192.168.25.34 192.168.25.38
CoreSw(Wireless-Access-Point)# dhcp-server enable
CoreSw(Wireless-Access-Point)# exit
CoreSw(config)#

Dear is there command to exclude single IP address ? My network range is configured suppose 192.168.1.11 192.168.1.254

Means 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.10 range is excluded. is there a command to exclude certian IP address. e.g I want to exclude IP address 192.168.1.100 and how it will be configured?
