Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) can dynamically allocate an IP address and other configuration information to network clients when they boot up. If a subnet does not already include a BOOTP or DHCP server, you can relay DHCP client requests to a DHCP server on another subnet, or configure the DHCP server on this switch to support that subnet.

When configuring the DHCP server on this switch, you can configure an address pool for each unique IP interface, or manually assign a static IP address to clients based on their hardware address or client identifier. The DHCP server can provide the host’s IP address, domain name, gateway router and DNS server, information about the host’s boot image including the TFTP server to access for download and the name of the boot file, or boot information for NetBIOS Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS).
