DPE Configuration Commands
dpe provisioning-group secondary
Usage Guidelines
This command sets the secondary provisioning group(s) for the DPE server to use. Most DPEs are 
configured with one primary provisioning group, however, selecting multiple provisioning groups might 
allow multiple DHCP servers to use this DPE. Secondary provisioning groups are used for provisioning 
only when the primary provisioning groups are not available or are overloaded.
When assigning new provisioning groups that have a high number of devices, restarting the DPE can 
take an extensive amount of time. This is due to the fact that the cache for each provisioning group has 
to be synchronized or, for new provisioning groups, completely rebuilt.
Under normal situations, provisioning groups should only be changed when the device is first deployed 
on the network.
Note
Provisioning group changes do not take effect until you restart the DPE.
Syntax Description
When entering the dpe provisioning-group secondary command, you must use this syntax:
dpe provisioning-group secondary <name>*
Where:
(name)—identifies the assigned secondary provisioning group
*—allows the entry of multiple provisioning groups
Examples
This is an example of how to use the dpe provisioning-group secondary command:
dpe# dpe provisioning-group secondary SecondaryProvGroup
%OK (Requires DPE restart "> dpe reload")
dpe rdu-server (host)
Usage Guidelines
This command identifies the RDU to connect this DPE to. Normally, you configure the RDU on the 
default port but, for security reasons, you could configure it to run on a nonstandard port.
Note
Changes do not take effect until you restart the DPE.
Syntax Description
When entering the dpe rdu-server command, you must use this syntax:
dpe rdu-server <host> <port>
