Configuring a DHCP Server Identifier

The host running the DHCP server itself must use a manually assigned, static IP address. It cannot send a request and receive an IP address from itself or another DHCP server.

To configure a server identifier, include the server-identifier statement:




server-identifier address;

You can include this statement at the following hierarchy levels:



[edit system services dhcp]
[edit system services dhcp pool]
[edit system services dhcp static-binding]

The server-identifier statement specifies the IP address of the DHCP server. The host must be a TFTP server that is accessible by all clients served within a range of IP addresses (based on either an address pool or static binding).

The following example shows a DHCP server identifier configured for an address pool:



[edit system services dhcp]
pool 10.3.3.0/24 {
address-range low 10.3.3.2 high 10.3.3.254;


exclude-address {
10.3.3.33;
}




router {
10.3.3.1;
}


server-identifier 10.3.3.1;
}
