Extreme XOS DHCP Helper address - Bootprelay

Configure BOOTP in ExtremeOS

EXOS version 21.1.2.14

If you are new to Extreme networks you will notice that some of the commands will be different than the elephant that is Cisco.

To set up your routed interface to be able to send DHCP requests or BOOTP these will be the commands that you will need to enable this.

Step 1:  Create VLAN

create vlan VLAN_10

Step 2:  Create VLAN Route Statement

configure vlan VLAN_10 ipaddress x.x.x.x

enable ipforwarding vlan VLAN_10

Step 3.5:  Assign vlan to port

configure vlan VLAN_10 add ports 48 tagged

Step 4:  Configure Bootprelay

configure bootprelay add X.X.X.X vr VR-Default

enable bootprelay ipv4 vlan VLAN_10

* NOTE - If you are running a distributed network with routing happening on multiply routers within your network you need to make sure you enable bootprelay on your uplink vlans that forwards your traffic to the next router that has your DHCP Server on it.  If you do not do this the BOOTP protocols will not be passed on on and you will never receive an ip address from dhcp.
