Enabling DHCP

If desired, Chalet allows you to configure the DHCP server included in the switch, including the IP address range, IP address lease, and multiple DHCP options. For more information about this feature, see the "DHCP Server" section of the ExtremeXOS User Guide.

You must first assign ports to VLANs (see Assigning Ports to VLANs) before you can enable DHCP on the ports.

  1. To begin, select Configure > VLAN, and then click the next to the VLAN you wish to enable DHCP on.
    The General tab displays.
  2. Click Edit.
  3. Assign IP address ranges. The Primary IP on the VLAN is required.
    Note

    Note

    DHCP IP ranges must be in the same subnet.
  4. Click Apply to save your changes.
  5. Select the Assign Ports tab.
  6. Select the Edit checkbox. This stops the refresh timer so the switch will not update during this configuration.
  7. Select the ports you just added and then click Enable DHCP Ports.
  8. When finished, clear the Edit checkbox to restart the refresh timer.
  9. Click Save Config to save your changes.
  10. To confirm your changes, return to the General tab. The DHCP Ports area will display the ports enabled with DHCP.
  11. To disable DHCP ports, return to the Assign Ports tab and select the Edit checkbox.
  12. Select the ports from the Assigned Ports area and then click Disable DHCP Ports.
  13. When finished, clear the Edit checkbox to restart the refresh timer.
  14. Click Save Config to save your changes.
  15. To confirm your changes, return to the General tab to see the updated DHCP Ports area.
