Tutorial HP Switch – DHCP server
First, you need to access the console of your HP Switch.
In our example, we are going to use a Opensource software named Putty and a computer running Windows.
The Putty software is available on the putty.org website.
After finishing the download, run the software and wait for the following screen.
To access the console of an HP Switch model 5500, you will need to select the Serial Connection category and use the following options:
• Connection type: Serial
• Serial line: COM1
• Speed: 9600
If COM1 does not work you will need to try to use COM2, COM3, COM4 or the next.
On the prompt screen, enter the administrative login information.
Factory default access information:
• Username: admin
• Password: (No password)
After a successful login, the console command-line will be displayed.
Use the system-view command to enter the configuration mode.
Create a new vlan, select an identification number and add a brief description.
Create a virtual interface using the following commands.
Enable DHCP globally.
Configure a DHCP scope to the network.
In our example, we are offering a dynamic IP address for computers connected to the VLAN 100.
If a computer is connected to the VLAN 100 it will receive an IP address from the 192.168.100./24 network.
Use the following commands to verify your configuration.
Don’t forget to save your switch configuration.
Congratulations! You have successfully configured a DHCP server.
