The server IP address is associated , through its DHCP server group, with a specific
VLAN interface. This implementation differs from others in which the server IP is a
global parameter.

Configuring a DHCP Server IP Address in a DHCP Server Group

You can set master and slave DHCP servers on a network segment to promote the
reliability of the device. The master and slave DHCP servers form a DHCP server
group. You can specify the IP addresses of the two servers using the following
command.

Perform the following configuration in System view.

The backup server IP address cannot be configured independently, instead, it has
to be configured together with the master server IP address.

By default, the IP address of the DHCP Server is not configured. The DHCP Server
address must be configured before DHCP relay can be used.

Configuring the DHCP Server Group for the VLAN Interface

Perform the following configuration in VLAN interface view.
