Specifying gateways for DHCP clients

DHCP clients send packets destined for other networks to a gateway. The DHCP server can assign the gateway address to the DHCP clients.

You can specify gateway addresses in each address pool on the DHCP server. A maximum of 64 gateways can be specified in DHCP address pool view or secondary subnet view.

The DHCP server assigns gateway addresses to clients on a secondary subnet in the following ways:

• If gateways are specified in both address pool view and secondary subnet view, DHCP assigns those specified in the secondary subnet view.

• If gateways are specified in address pool view but not in secondary subnet view, DHCP assigns those specified in address pool view.

1. Enter system view.

   system-view

2. Enter DHCP address pool view.

   dhcp server ip-pool pool-name

3. Specify gateways.

   gateway-list ip-address&<1-64>

   By default, no gateway is specified.

4. (Optional.) Specify gateways in secondary subnet view.

   1. Enter secondary subnet view.

      network network-address [ mask-length | mask mask ] secondary

   2. Specify gateways.

      gateway-list ip-address&<1-64>

      By default, no gateway is specified.
