WSS Software also has a configurable DHCP server. (See set interface dhcp-server on page 111.) 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:
WSS# set interface corpvlan ip dhcp-client enable
success: change accepted.

Defaults The DHCP server is enabled by default on a new (unconfigured) 2350 or 2360, 2382 in order to
provide an IP address to the host connected to the switch for access to the Web Quick Start. On all switch
models, the DHCP server is enabled and cannot be disabled for directly connected APs.
The DHCP server is disabled by default for any other use.
Note. Use of the WSS Software DHCP server to allocate client addresses is intended for
temporary, demonstration deployments and not for production networks. Nortel
recommends that you do not use the WSS Software DHCP server to allocate client
addresses in a production network.
