Configuring a Static IP Address as DHCP Server Identifier
The host running the DHCP server must itself use a manually assigned, static IP address. It cannot send a request and receive an IP address from itself or another DHCP server.
To configure a DHCP server identifier, include the server-identifier statement:
server-identifier address;
You can include this statement at the following hierarchy levels:
[edit system services dhcp][edit system services dhcp pool][edit system services dhcp static-binding]
The server-identifier statement specifies the IP address of the DHCP server. The host must be a TFTP server that is accessible by all clients served within a range of IP addresses (based on either an address pool or static binding).
The following example shows a DHCP server identifier configured for an address pool:
[edit system services dhcp]
pool 10.3.3.0/24 {address-range low 10.3.3.2 high 10.3.3.254;exclude-address {10.3.3.33;}router {10.3.3.1;}server-identifier 10.3.3.1;}
