Configuring DHCP to Provide SmartZone IP Addresses to an ICX Switch

A DHCP server can be configured to send SmartZone IP addresses to ICX devices using DHCP Option 43.

Configure DHCP Option 43 on the DHCP server, using RKUS.scg-address to identify the SmartZone IP addresses.

A single SmartZone IP address or a comma-separated list can be configured. SmartZone IP addresses are sent with a sub-option value of 6. The ICX device ignores all other data in DHCP Option 43 if SmartZone IP addresses are present.

The following example shows a DHCP Option 43 configuration on a DHCP server. The IP addresses listed are examples only.

subnet 192.168.12.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
   range  192.168.12.100 192.168.12.199;
   option routers 192.168.12.1;
   option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
   option broadcast-address 192.168.12.255;
   option ntp-servers 192.168.11.22;
   class "Ruckus AP" {
      match if option vendor-class-identifier = "Ruckus CPE";
      option vendor-class-identifier "Ruckus CPE";
      default-lease-time 86400;
      vendor-option-space RKUS;
      option RKUS.scg-address "192.168.11.200, 192.168.11.201, 192.168.11.202";
   }
}
