Configure the System to be a DHCP Server

A DHCP server is a network device that has been programmed to provide network configuration parameters to clients upon request. Servers typically serve many clients, making host management much more organized and efficient.
NOTE If the management port is associated with any non-default VRF, then the ip address dhcp command does not work.

The following table lists the key responsibilities of DHCP servers.

Table 1. DHCP Server ResponsibilitiesDHCP Server Responsibilities
DHCP Server Responsibilities Description
Address Storage and Management DHCP servers are the owners of the addresses used by DHCP clients.The server stores the addresses and manages their use, keeping track of which addresses have been allocated and which are still available.
Configuration Parameter Storage and Management DHCP servers also store and maintain other parameters that are sent to clients when requested. These parameters specify in detail how a client is to operate.
Lease Management DHCP servers use leases to allocate addresses to clients for a limited time. The DHCP server maintains information about each of the leases, including lease length.
Responding To Client Requests DHCP servers respond to different types of requests from clients, primarily, granting, renewing, and terminating leases.
Providing Administration Services DHCP servers include functionality that allows an administrator to implement policies that govern how DHCP performs its other tasks.
