Configuring DHCP relay on Comware

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) relay on Comware is configured with

concept of multiple DHCP servers and applied to the interfaces. This configuration
allows for added information to allow scale, but is ungainly when you have one or two
DHCP servers. In the end, the configuration requirements are straight forward but not
the ip-helper-address, we are use too.

VARIABLES

${GroupNumber} Define the server group that DHCP is available

${DHCPserverIPaddress} Define the DHCP server IP address(es) for that group

${VLAN} The Switched Virtual Interface

Configuration

dhcp enable

dhcp relay server-group ${GroupNumber} ip ${DHCPserverIPaddress}

int vlan ${VLAN}

dhcp relay server-select ${GroupNumber}

dhcp select relay

On Comware the configuration for DHCP relay requires:

enabling dhcp

defining the server

mapping it to a group
 On each Layer 3 Interface

o defining the DHCP group

o defining the relay function
