IP Services Commands

set interface dhcp-client (continued)

Syntax: set interface vlan-id ip dhcp-client {enable | disable}

vlan-id VLAN name or number.

enable Enables the DHCP client on the VLAN.

disable Disables the DHCP client on the VLAN.

Defaults: Disabled

Access: Enabled

Usage: You can enable the DHCP client on one VLAN only. You can conﬁgure the DHCP

client on more than one VLAN, but the client can be active on only one VLAN.

MSS also has a conﬁgurable DHCP server. You can conﬁgure a DHCP client and DHCP

server on the same VLAN, but only the client or the server can be enabled. The DHCP client

and DHCP server cannot both be enabled on the same VLAN at the same time.

Examples: The following command enables the DHCP client on VLAN corpvlan:

DWS-1008# set interface corpvlan ip dhcp-client enable

success: change accepted.

set interface dhcp-server

Conﬁgures the MSS DHCP server.

Note: Use of the MSS DHCP server to allocate client addresses is intended for temporary,

demonstration deployments and not for production networks. D-Link recommends that you

do not use the MSS DHCP server to allocate client addresses in a production network.
