1. Address Storage and Management: DHCP servers are the owners of the addresses used by DHCP clients.The server stores the addresses and manages their use, keeping track of which addresses have been allocated and which are still available. 2. Configuration Parameter Storage and Management: DHCP servers also store and maintain other parameters that are sent to clients when requested. These parameters specify in detail how a client is to operate. 3. Lease Management: DHCP servers use leases to allocate addresses to clients for a limited time. The DHCP server maintains information about each of the leases, including lease length. 4. Responding To Client Requests: DHCP servers respond to different types of requests from clients, primarily, granting, renewing, and terminating leases. 5. Providing Administration Services: The DHCP server includes functionality that allows an administrator to implement policies that govern how DHCP performs its other tasks. Configuration Tasks To configure DHCP, an administrator must first set up a DHCP server and provide it with configuration parameters and policy information including IP address ranges, lease length specifications, and configuration data that DHCP hosts need. Configuring the Dell Networking system to be a DHCP server is a 3-step process: 1. Configuring the Server for Automatic Address Allocation 2. Specifying a Default Gateway 3. Enabling DHCP Server Related Configuration Tasks • Configuring a Method of Hostname Resolution • Creating Manual Binding Entries • Debugging DHCP server • DHCP Clear Commands Configuring the Server for Automatic Address Allocation This feature is available on the S5000 switch. Automatic Address Allocation is an address assignment method by which the DHCP server leases an IP address to a client from a pool of available addresses. Creating an IP Address Pool An address pool is a range of IP addresses that may be assigned by the DHCP server. Address pools are indexed by subnet number.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

337

Address Storage and Management

: DHCP servers are the owners of the addresses used by DHCP

clients.The server stores the addresses and manages their use, keeping track of which addresses have

been allocated and which are still available.

Configuration Parameter Storage and Management

: DHCP servers also store and maintain other

parameters that are sent to clients when requested. These parameters specify in detail how a client is to

operate.

Lease Management

: DHCP servers use leases to allocate addresses to clients for a limited time. The

DHCP server maintains information about each of the leases, including lease length.

Responding To Client Requests

: DHCP servers respond to different types of requests from clients,

primarily, granting, renewing, and terminating leases.

Providing Administration Services

: The DHCP server includes functionality that allows an

administrator to implement policies that govern how DHCP performs its other tasks.

Configuration Tasks

To configure DHCP, an administrator must first set up a DHCP server and provide it with configuration

parameters and policy information including IP address ranges, lease length specifications, and

configuration data that DHCP hosts need.

Configuring the Dell Networking system to be a DHCP server is a 3-step process:

Configuring the Server for Automatic Address Allocation

Specifying a Default Gateway

Enabling DHCP Server

Configuring the Server for Automatic Address Allocation

This feature is available on the S5000 switch.

Automatic Address Allocation is an address assignment method by which the DHCP server leases an IP

address to a client from a pool of available addresses.

Creating an IP Address Pool

An address pool is a range of IP addresses that may be assigned by the DHCP server. Address pools are

indexed by subnet number.
