Solved: how to configure ip dhcp pool for vlan on Nexus 9000 Series

Fangxian Yu · ‎02-12-2017

I want to configure the ip dhcp pool for vlan on this switch, but i cannot find any command to do that. The command(ip dhcp pool poolname) i found is for router, but it's useless for the switch.

Hi,

As far as I'm aware the Nexus 9000 series switch cannot act as a DHCP server. However, it has the ability to forward DHCP packets between clients and servers using the DHCP Relay Agent feature.
