ServerMobility

The ServerMobility feature uses the DHCP Relay Agent information option (option 82) to sup- port fixed server address allocation, based on host location. The Relay Agent information option allows the switch to append location information to packets sent to a DHCP server, as follows:

Agent circuit ID sub-option encodes the chassis ID, in hexadecimal format.

In the advanced management system, the chassis ID is displayed in the UUID field on the System Vital Product Data window (Monitors > Hardware VPD). The following exam- ple shows how the chassis ID is configured in the Agent circuit ID sub-option:

4F:B2:F3:A8:6E:34:35:54:8B:0B:D8:2D:F2:B7:E9:49

Agent remote ID sub-option encodes the switch slot number and the port ID that corre- sponds to the blade server, in hexadecimal. The following example shows how Slot ID 1 and Port Number 2 is configured in the Agent remote ID sub-option:

01:0:0:0:02

VSE SmartConnect software provides the following ServerMobility configuration windows:
