6450 dhcp server syntax help
Posted: 15 Jan 2026 11:56
This is something I haven't done before on an ALE switch, but I'm trying to enable dhcp server on a 6450 and I keep getting:
And these are the contents of my dhcpd.conf and dhcpd.pcy files:
and
Now, I'm reading the DHCP server section of the AOS6 manual and this switch did not come with the default dhcp files (dhcpd.conf.template and dhcpd.pcy.template) so I dont know if I'm adding something that I shouldn't. Can anyone pinpoint where an issue might be?
