service provider (ISP) restricts the number of users who concurrently access the network, and
users must dynamically obtain their own IP addresses.
Only a few hosts on the network need fixed IP addresses, and most hosts do not need fixed IP
addressed.
The DHCP server configuration consists of three parts, including mode configuration, excluded IP
address configuration, and address pool configuration.
5.5.1
DHCP Server Mode Configuration
On the DHCP server mode configuration page, you can configure parameters shown in the following
figure.
Global Mode
: You can select
Enabled
or
Disabled
to globally enable or disable the DHCP server
function.
VLAN mode
: It is used to add VLANs in which the DHCP server is enabled.
5.5.2
DHCP Server Excluded IP Configuration
Excluded IP Address
: Specifies the range of the excluded IP addresses. These IP addresses will
not be automatically obtained by clients. Note that the VLAN interface IP addresses must be
excluded; otherwise, clients may fail to obtain IP addresses.
