Ruckus ICX - DHCP Client Configuration

Edited

Purpose

The purpose of this guide is to demonstrate how to make the switch forward DHCP packets to the DHCP server for local subnets that it is routing for.

Pre-Requisite

The switch must be on the routing firmware

This must be completed in privileged exec mode

Configuration

Define the VLAN 

VLAN 10 name Production
router-interface ve 10 <<< This creates a layer 3 interface      

exit

Define the Layer 3 Interface and Enable DHCP Forwarding

interface ve 10
ip address 10.10.0.1 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 1 10.10.0.254 <<< Defines the DHCP server
exit

Explaining the command

ip helper-address [ID] [IP Address]

The [ID] references the number of the DHCP server as there can be up to 16 DHCP servers referenced per layer 3 interface.
