Alcatel Unleashed

Hi, we have a OS6850, we need to know if the 6850 has an internal DHCP server for multiple VLAN´s, we need to give ip addresses to users by the mac address.
Regards,
Mauricio

Hi,

since AOS Release 6.4.3 OmniSwitch supports an internal DHCP Server compliant with RFC 2131 based on Vital QIP 5.6.Consider the following when using the OmniSwitch Internal DHCP Server:
• Internal DHCP Server is supported only on the default VRF instance.
• Internal DHCP Server and DHCP Relay/Snooping are mutually exclusive; these features cannot run together in the default VRF instance.
• Only IPv4 is supported.
• Configuration on a per-VLAN basis is not supported.<---
• Configuring an IP interface is required.
• A maximum of 2K leases is recommended.
• If the dhcpd.conf file is edited, a restart of the DHCP Server (dhcp-server restart) is mandatory to reparse the modified configuration file.
• The larger the dhcpd.conf file size (file contains a lot of entries, such as with manual-dhcp), the more time it takes for the system to process the file.
• A DHCP server scope with Class A IP address subnets is not supported due to memory constraints.
• Configuring multiple DHCP server scopes for Class B IP address subnets will increase the amount of memory used. A single Class B scope reserves 2.3MB of memory.
