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.

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.

Platform:

ASR 5000

ASR 5500

Product:

GGSN, P-GW, SAEGW


Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator


Syntax 
dhcpv6-server-preference pref_valuedefault 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:

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.

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:

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.

Platform:

ASR 5000

ASR 5500

Product:

GGSN, P-GW, SAEGW


Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator


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:

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
end

Exits the current configuration mode and returns to the Exec mode.

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:

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
