Disabling or re-enabling the DHCP server on the management port

By default, when the DHCP server is enabled on the FastIron device, the server responds to DHCP client requests received on the management port.

If required, you can prevent the response to DHCP client requests received on the management port by disabling DHCP server support on the port. When the DHCP server is disabled, DHCP client requests that are received on the management port are discarded.

  1. Enter global configuration mode by issuing the configure terminal command. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Disable the DHCP server functionality on the management port. 
    device(config)# no ip dhcp-server mgmt
  3. Enable the DHCP server functionality on the management port, as required. 
    device(config)# ip dhcp-server mgmt
