DHCP configuration on MX4300-48X

Hello Everyone,

I've got one configuration Issue: I'm new to the M4300 ProSAFE Switch and I'm trying to configure it. I've noticed that there is a DHCP server section under System -> Services and I need a little help to these question:

In my switch I've got several vlan mapped on a various number of ports. I'd like to enable DHCP on some vlan (let take an example):

Port 1 to 4 Vlan 20 subnet 192.168.0.0/24 (Need DHCP)

Port 5 to 8 Vlan 10 subnet 192.168.3.0/24 (No need for DHCP)

Port 9 to 12 Vlan 5 subnet 192.168.5.0/24 (Need DHCP)

No routing is needed between the Vlan.

How can I make this configuration?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks again

Luca

Liander,

You are correct. Actually the last article that I just shared with you was the DHCP configuration on that, not the whole routing. You don't need to enable VLAN routing anymore on this setup as it will be handled already by your external router. So no need to worry about that. My apologies with the confusion.

Regards,

  Dear JohnCarloV,
  thanks for your first reply. I've followed all the insctuction on your link, but there is something that is not clear. It seem that it could be possibile to define more than one DHCP pool, so how is possible to assign the DHCP pool to a VLAN or to some ethernet ports? Is there any way?
  Thanks a lot for your help again

    To associate a DHCP pool to a VLAN, ensure that the network address of the pool matches the network address of the VLAN. For example, VLAN 10 in this example is assigned the IP address 192.168.10.254 and network mask 255.255.255.0. This has a network address of 192.168.10.0. When creating the DHCP pool for VLAN 10, ensure that the network address is 192.168.10.0 with network mask 255.255.255.0. The switch automatically assigns the DHCP pool to the corresponding VLAN (VLAN 10 in this case).
