Configuring DHCP Services (J-Web Procedure)

Configuring DHCP Services (J-Web Procedure) on EX Series Switches

Use the J-Web DHCP Configuration pages to configure DHCP pools for subnets and static bindings for DHCP clients on an ACX Series Universal Access Gateway router or an EX Series Ethernet Switch. If DHCP pools or static bindings are already configured, use the Configure Global DHCP Parameters Configuration page to add settings for these pools and static bindings. Settings that have been previously configured for DHCP pools or static bindings are not overridden when you use the Configure Global DHCP Parameters Configuration page.

To configure the DHCP server:

Select Configure > Services > DHCP
Access a DHCP Configuration page:
- To configure a DHCP pool for a subnet, click Add in the DHCP Pools box.
- To configure a static binding for a DHCP client, click Add in the DHCP Static Binding box.
- To globally configure settings for existing DHCP pools and static bindings, click Configure Global DHCP Parameters.
Enter information into the DHCP Service Configuration pages as described in Table 1

To apply the configuration, click Apply.

Note: After you make changes to the configuration on this page, you must commit the changes for them to take effect. To commit all changes to the active configuration, select Commit Options > Commit. See Using the Commit Options to Commit Configuration Changes for details about all commit options.
