Configuring the Next DHCP Sever to Contact After a Boot Client Establishes Initial Communication

On J series Services Routers, you can configure the next DHCP server to contact after a DHCP boot client establishes initial communication. You can use this option to specify the IP address of the DHCP server that is used as the “siaddr” in a DHCP protocol packet.

To configure the next server, include the next-server next-server statement at one of the following hierarchy levels:

• [edit system services dhcp]
• [edit system services dhcp pool pool-id]
• [edit system services dhcp static-binding mac-address]
