M4300 Series and M4300-96X Fully Managed Switches Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Concepts When a client sends a request to a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, the DHCP server assigns the IP address from address pools that are specified on the switch. The network in the DHCP pool must belong to the same subnet. A DHCP server allows the switch to dynamically assign an IP address to a DHCP client that is attached to the switch. It also enables the IP address to be assigned based on the client's MAC address. The following are examples of how the DHCP Server feature is used. Configure a DHCP Server in Dynamic Mode The following example shows how to create a DHCP server with a dynamic pool. The example is shown as CLI commands and as a local browser interface procedure.
