DHCP clients. Both internal DHCP servers are disabled by
default.
NOTE:
Incoming
DHCP unicast
requests require admin-
istrative access. If the
administrative IP
address ACL (disabled
by default) is enabled, it
must include IP
addresses to permit
DHCP requests. See Sec-
tion 2.2.5 for more detail.
Traffic is affected by the
per-interface packet fil-
ters. If configured, per-
interface packet filters
must include filters to
permit DHCP traffic to
and from the FMP. See
Section 4.6.3 for more
detail.
View the current DHCP server settings with the show dhcp-

DHCPv4 Server State
-------------------
Mode : server
Min IPv4 range: 172.30.16.1
Max IPv4 range: 172.30.16.255
Max Lease Time: 60
DHCPv6 Server State
-------------------
Mode : server
IPv6 range : auto
Max Lease Time: 60
You can use the set dhcp-server command to enable either
DHCP server.
# set dhcp-server -mode off|server -version ipv4|ipv6 -auto y|n -
iprangeMin
<IPrangeMin>
-iprangeMax
<IPrangeMax>
-maxLeaseTime
<0..525600>
The -mode switch enables a DHCP server if set to
server
or
disables the server if set to
off
. The -maxLeaseTime
determines the maximum time in minutes, up to 525,600 (365
days), before the DHCP lease expires. The default max lease
time is 60 minutes.
To enable the Mesh Point’s internal IPv4 DHCP server, use the
set command to specify the lowest and highest IPv4
addresses in the Mesh Point’s IPv4 DHCP address pool:
# set dhcp-server -mode server -version ipv4 -iprangeMin
172.30.16.1
-iprangeMax
172.30.16.255
To enable the Mesh Point’s internal IPv6 DHCP server with
automatic addressing, use the
set command:
# set dhcp-server -mode server -version ipv6 -auto y
Alternatively, you can use the set command to enable the
internal IPv6 DHCP server and specify the pool’s start and end
IPv6 addresses:
# set dhcp-server -mode server -version ipv6 -ipRangeMin
<IPrangeMin>
-ipRangeMax
<IPrangeMax>
-maxLeaseTime
<MaxLeaseTime>
View the leases obtained from the DHCP servers with the show
command:
# show dhcp-server-leases
