PowerConnect 5524 and Embedded DHCP Server
Hello,
I would like to use the internal DHCP Server provided by PowerConnect 5524. Activation and configration of the DHCP Server is documented but there is nothing about how to make it work :emotion-6:
I have configured 2 vlan (lets call them VLAN2 : IP = 192.168.2.1 and VLAN3 = 192.168.3.1). I have configured the DHCP Server to serve IP in two pools: one on the 192.168.2.0 subnet and another on the 192.168.3.0 subnet.
The question is :
How do i affect DHCP service to each VLAN so VLAN2 is served with the pool "192.168.2" and VLAN3 is served with the pool "192.168.3"?
Thanks in advance for your precious help!
Sébastien

Hi,
Thank you very much for your quick reply. Do you think i could configure relaying on my VLAN 2 & 3 to forward request to the integrated DHCP Server on VLAN1 or is the function too basic?
Otherwise, i will try to ask for a feature request :) (but will use an external DHCP Server !)
Thanks!
Sébastien

Ok! My latests question :) :
What is the point of allowing to configure several pools with different subnets if we can't use them ?

Hi
I have a similar situation where I try to assign different address pools to different VLANS.
I tried the settings written up there and I found out something when trying to enable the dhcp relay.
Console(config)# ip dhcp relay enable
"Cannot enable DHCP relay when server is enabled"
Which means that the 5524 cannot play roles of both server and relay.
Does it mean that for sure this setup is not possible?
Thanks

Hi Daniel,
We succeeded in making it work ! :) thanks to your suggestions.
1st after dhcp server configuration, activate relaying for the VLAN1 address :
ip dhcp relay address X.X.X.X
Then for each VLAN where you want relaying :
interface vlan Z
ip address Z.Z.Z.Z SUBNET (corresponding to the subnet you defined for the given pool of this vlan)
ip dhcp relay enable
interface vlan Y
ip address Y.Y.Y.Y SUBNET (corresponding to the subnet you defined for the given pool of this vlan)
ip dhcp relay enable
That's it!
