Configure a DHCP Server

After configuring the interface to work in the DHCP server mode, when the interface receives the DHCP request packet sent by the DHCP client, the DHCP server will distribute the IP address and other network parameters for the client.

Table 3-10 Configure a DHCP server

Configure the Range of Reserved IP Addresses

In a DHCP address pool, some IP addresses are reserved for some special devices, and some IP addresses conflict with the IP addresses of other hosts in the network. Therefore, the IP addresses cannot be dynamically allocated.

Table 3-11 Configuring the Range of Reserved IP Addresses

Configure DHCP Ping Detection Parameters

To prevent an IP address conflict, before dynamically allocating an IP address to a DHCP client, a DHCP server must detect the IP address. The detection operation is performed through the ping operation. The DHCP server determines whether an IP address conflict exists by checking whether an ICMP echo response packet is received within the specified time.

Table 3-12 Configuring DHCP Ping Detection Parameters

Configure the DHCP Data Log Function

After enabling the data log function of the DHCP server, the distributed address pool on the DHCP server is recorded to the data log.
