Configuration Example
Network requirements
Two DHCP clients are on the network segment 10.110.0.0 (255.255.0.0). They obtain
IP addresses from a DHCP server through a switch acting as DHCP relay. Option 82
supporting is enabled on the DHCP relay.

Configuration procedure
This example supposes that the routes between the DHCP relay and the DHCP server
are reachable. The following configurations are only for the switch acting as DHCP
relay.
1Enter system view.
<S5500> system-view
2Enable DHCP.
[S5500] dhcp enable
3Configure the VLAN interface that is to carry out the DHCP relay function: First enter
the corresponding VLAN interface view. Then assign an IP address and a subnet mask
to the VLAN interface so that it is on the same network segment with the two DHCP
clients.
[S5500] interface vlan-interface 100
[S5500-Vlan-interface 100] ip address 10.110.1.1 255.255.0.0
4Specify the IP address of the DHCP server by configuring the IP address of the DHCP
server to be used by DHCP server group 1.
[S5500] dhcp-server 1 ip address 202.38.1.2
5Map VLAN 100 interface to DHCP server group1.
[S5500] interface Vlan-interface 100
[S5500-Vlan-interface100] dhcp-server 1
