Dell Networking N-Series switches include an integrated DHCP server that can deliver host-specific configuration information to hosts on the network. The switch DHCP server allows the configuration of IPv4 address pools (scopes), and when a host's DHCP client requests an address, the switch DHCP server automatically assigns the host an address from the pool. For information about configuring the DHCP server settings, see "DHCP Server Settings" on page 1121. Management of Basic Network Information The DHCP client on the switch allows the switch to acquire information such as the IPv4 or IPv6 address and default gateway from a network DHCP server. The DHCP client can also be disabled and static network information can be configured instead. Other configurable network information includes a Domain Name Server (DNS), hostname to IP address mapping, and a default domain name. If the switch detects an IP address conflict on the management interface, it generates a trap and sends a log message. For information about configuring basic network information, see "Setting the IP Address and Other Basic Network Information" on page 179. IPv6 Management Features Dell Networking N-Series switches provide IPv6 support for many standard management features including HTTP, HTTPS/SSL, Telnet, SSH, syslog, SNTP/NTP, TFTP, and traceroute on both the in-band and out-of-band management ports. Dual Software Images Dell Networking N-Series switches can store up to two software images. The dual image feature enables upgrading the switch without deleting the older software image. One image is designated as the active image and the other image as the backup image. For information about managing the switch image, see "Images and File Management" on page 503. 60 Switch Feature Overview
