Configure a DHCP Server Address

You can configure a DHCP server address in the DHCP relay agent. A maximum of five servers can be configured. If no servers are configured, the DHCP packets will be broadcast to the entire network, except to the network from which the packet is received.

In this example, the server address is 20.0.0.1.

1. Configure a DHCP server address in switch 2.

   SEFOS# configure terminal
   SEFOS(config)# ip dhcp server 20.0.0.1
   SEFOS(config)# end

2. Ensure that the server address has been configured in the relay.

   SEFOS# show ip dhcp relay information

   The output in the switch is:

   Dhcp Relay                                   : Enabled
   Dhcp Relay Servers only                  : Enabled
    
   DHCP server                                 : 20.0.0.1
