4.5.1 Enabling the DHCP
Server and the
DHCP Relay Agent
To enable the DHCP server and the DHCP relay agent, execute the following
commands in the global configuration mode:
Command Function
DES-7200(config)# service dhcp
Enable the DHCP server and the
DHCP relay agent.
DES-7200(config)# no service dhcp
Disable the DHCP server and the
DHCP relay agent.
Note
By default, in v10.1 and later, the command service dhcp can
be used for both DHCP server and DHCP relay, which are two
mutually-exclusive functions. The switchover of those two
functions depends on whether the DHCP address pool is
configured or not.
However, for the product in the version prior to v10.1(excluding
v10.1), the command service dhcp is not supported by both
DHCP server and DHCP relay. You can use the command
service dhcp to enable the DHCP service or the DHCP server.
For some product in v10.1 and later, DHCP may conflict with
some functions. For the details, see the prompting message of
specific product.
