Dell 6.2 Configuring a V LAN to Receive a Dynamic Ad dress, Configuring Multiple Wired Up link Interfaces (Ac tive-Standby), Enabling th e DHCP Client

In the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Network > IP > IP Interfaces page on t he WebUI.Click Edit for the VLAN
you just added.
2. Select theU se the followingIP address option. Enter the IP address and network masko ft heV LAN interface. If
required,you can also configure the address of the DHCP server for theV LAN by clicking Add.
3. Click Apply.
In the CLI
(host) (config) #interface vlan <id>
ip address <address> <netmask>
Configuring a V LAN to Receive a Dynamic Ad dress
In a branchoffice, you can connect a controller to an uplink switch or servert hat dynamicallyassigns IP addresses to
connected devices. For example,the controller can be connected to a DSLor cable modem, or a broadband remote
access server(BR AS). s hows a branchoffice where a controller connects to a cable modem.V LAN 1 has a static IP
address,while VLA N 2 has a dynamic IP address assigned via DHCP or PPP oE from the uplink device.

Configuring Multiple Wired Up link Interfaces (Ac tive-Standby)
You canass ignup to four VLAN interfaces to operate in active-standby topology. An active-standby topology
provides redundancyso that when an active interface fails, the user traffic can failover to the standby interface.
To allow the controllerto obt ain a dynamic IP address fora V LAN, enablethe DHCP orPPPoE c liento nt he
controllerfor the VLA N.
The followingrestrictio ns applywhen enabling the DHCP or PPPoE clienton the controller:
lYou can enablethe DHCP/PP PoE client multiple uplinkVLAN i nterfaces(up to four) on the controller; these
VLANs cannot be VLAN 1.
lOnlyone port in the VLA N can be connectedt o the modemo ruplink switch.
lAt least one interface in the VLAN must be in the up state before the DHCP/PPPoE client requests an IP
addressfrom the server.
Enabling th e DHCP Client
The DHCP server assigns anI P address fora speci fiedamount of ti me calleda lease. The controller automatically
renewst helease before it expires. When you shut down the VLAN, the DHCP lease is released.
In the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Network > IP > IP Interfaces page.
2. Click Edit fora previously-created VLAN.
3. Select Obtain an IP address from DHCP.
