Configure DHCP on the ENSP access switch

To configure DHCP on an eNSP access switch, enable DHCP in system view, define an IP address pool, assign VLANs, and configure client PCs to obtain IP addresses automatically.Step 1: Enter System View and Enable DHCPAccess the switch console in eNSP.Enter system view by typing:CodeCopysystem-view Enable DHCP functionality:CodeCopydhcp enable This command is required before any DHCP-related configuration, including DHCP relay or server functions, can take effect .Step 2: Configure VLANs and InterfacesCreate VLANs for your network segments:CodeCopyvlan 10vlan 20 Assign switch ports to the appropriate VLANs:CodeCopyinterface range f0/1 - 15switchport mode accessswitchport access vlan 10 Repeat for other VLANs as needed .Step 3: Define DHCP Address PoolsYou can configure DHCP based on a global pool or interface-specific pool. Global pool example:CodeCopydhcp select globalip pool VLAN10network 192.168.10.0 mask 255.255.255.0gateway-list 192.168.10.1excluded-ip-address 192.168.10.1 192.168.10.10 Interface-specific pool example:CodeCopyinterface Vlanif10ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0dhcp select interface This allows connected PCs to automatically receive IP addresses from the defined pool .Step 4: Configure PCs to Use DHCPOpen each PC's configuration panel in eNSP.Under IPv4 settings, select DHCP.Apply the changes and verify by running:CodeCopyipconfig The PC should display an automatically assigned IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway .Step 5: Optional Security MeasuresDHCP Snooping: Enable to prevent rogue DHCP servers:CodeCopydhcp snooping enableinterface GigabitEthernet0/0/1dhcp snooping trust Port Security: Assign unused ports to a separate VLAN or shut them down to prevent unauthorized access .Step 6: VerificationCheck the DHCP bindings on the switch:CodeCopydisplay dhcp server binding Ensure clients have received IP addresses and can communicate within their VLAN. By following these steps, your eNSP access switch will dynamically assign IP addresses to connected devices, streamlining network configuration and testing in a simulated environment .
