DHCP Server Profile Configuration Mode Commands

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server Profile Configuration Mode is used to create and manage DHCP server profile parameters. DHCP server profiles are associated with APNs.

Mode

Exec > Global Configuration > Context Configuration > DHCP Server Profile Configuration

configure > context context_name > dhcp-server-profile profile_name

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: 

[context_name]host_name(config-dhcp-server-profile)#

Important

The commands or keywords/variables that are available are dependent on platform type, product version, and installed license(s).

dhcpv6-server-preference

Specifies the waiting time for DHCPv6 client before response.

Mode

Exec > Global Configuration > Context Configuration > DHCP Server Profile Configuration

configure > context context_name > dhcp-server-profile profile_name

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: 

[context_name]host_name(config-dhcp-server-profile)#

Syntax

dhcpv6-server-preference pref_value 
default dhcpv6-server-preference

default

Returns the command to its default setting of 0.

pref_value

Specifies the DHCP server preference value as an integer from 1 through 255. If a DHCP server responds with a preference value of 255, DHCPv6 client need not wait any longer.

Default: 0

Usage Guidelines

According to RFC-3315, DHCPv6 client should wait for a specified amount of time before considering responses to its queries from DHCPv6 servers. Use this command to specify the waiting time (DHCP server preference value) for DHCPv6 client before response.

Example

The following command sets the DHCP server preference value to 200 : 
dhcpv6-server-preference 200

disable

Disables the specified options on the DHCP server.

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: 

[context_name]host_name(config-dhcp-server-profile)#

Syntax

disable { dhcpv6-server-reconf | dhcpv6-server-unicast | rapid-commit-dhcpv4 | rapid-commit-dhcpv6 }

dhcpv6-server-reconf

Disables support for reconfiguration messages from the DHCPv6 server.

dhcpv6-server-unicast

Disables server unicast option for DHCPv6 server.

rapid-commit-dhcpv4

Disables support of the rapid commit feature for DHCPv4 server functionality.

rapid-commit-dhcpv6

Disables support of the rapid commit feature for DHCPv6 server functionality.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to disable options on the DHCP server.

Example

The following command disables support of the rapid commit feature for DHCPv6 server functionality: 
disable rapid-commit-dhcpv6

enable

Enables the specified options on the DHCP server.

Syntax

enable { dhcpv6-server-reconf | dhcpv6-server-unicast | rapid-commit-dhcpv4 | rapid-commit-dhcpv6 }

dhcpv6-server-reconf

Enables support for reconfiguration messages from the DHCPv6 server.

By default, this is disabled.

dhcpv6-server-unicast

Disables server unicast option for DHCPv6 server.

By default, this is disabled.

rapid-commit-dhcpv4

Enables support of the rapid commit feature for DHCPv4 server functionality.

By default, this is disabled.

rapid-commit-dhcpv6

Enables support of the rapid commit feature for DHCPv6 server functionality.

By default, this is disabled; this is done to ensure that if there are multiple DHCPv6 servers in a network, with rapid-commit-option, they would all end up reserving resources for the UE.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to enable options on the DHCP server.

Example

The following command enables support of the rapid commit feature for DHCPv6 server functionality: 
enable rapid-commit-dhcpv6

Mode

Exec > Global Configuration > Context Configuration > DHCP Server Profile Configuration

configure > context context_name > dhcp-server-profile profile_name

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: 

[context_name]host_name(config-dhcp-server-profile)#

Syntax

process dhcp-option-from { AAA | LOCAL | PDN-DHCP } priority priority 
default process dhcp-option-from

default

AAA (priority 1) is preferred over PDN-DHCP (priority 2) which is preferred over LOCAL (priority 3) configuration.

dhcp-option-from { AAA | LOCAL | PDN-DHCP }

For a given client request, configuration values can be obtained from the following:

  • AAA

  • LOCAL

  • PDN-DHCP

priority priority

Specifies the priority for dhcp-option-from options.

priority is an integer from 1 through 3. 1 is the highest priority.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to configure what order the configuration options should be processed for a given client request.

Example

The following command sets configuration options from a PDN DHCP server at the highest priority of 1 for a given client request: 
process dhcp-option-from PDN-DHCP priority 1
