Can a SRW2048-K9-NA switch serve DHCP?

We are employing a SRW2048-K9-NA switch at a customer site this evening.

I tried to configure a dhcp server on it the other day and i could not find the command from normal IOS.

Is it an option to configure this switch as a DHCP server?

 

Thanks,

Kevin

Yes, it is possible for a Cisco SRW2048-K9-NA switch to serve as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server.

To configure the SRW2048-K9-NA switch as a DHCP server, follow these steps:

  1. Open a terminal or console window and connect to the switch using a console or SSH connection.
  2. Enter enable mode by entering the "enable" command and entering the enable password when prompted.
  3. Enter the "configure terminal" command to enter global configuration mode.
  4. Enter the "ip dhcp pool [name]" command, where [name] is the name you want to give to the DHCP pool. This will create a new DHCP pool and allow you to configure its settings.
  5. Enter the "network [network-address] [mask]" command to specify the network address and mask for the DHCP pool. This determines the range of IP addresses that the DHCP server will assign to connected devices.
  6. Enter the "default-router [router-address]" command to specify the default gateway for the DHCP pool. This is the IP address of the router that connected devices will use to access the network.
  7. Enter the "dns-server [dns-server-address]" command to specify the DNS server that the DHCP server will provide to connected devices. This allows those devices to resolve hostnames to IP addresses.
  8. Save the configuration changes by entering the "write memory" command.

    After completing these steps, the SRW2048-K9-NA switch will be configured as a DHCP server and will be able to assign IP addresses to connected devices. It is recommended to consult the Cisco SRW2048-K9-NA user guide and the DHCP configuration guide for more detailed instructions and additional configuration options.
