Enabling DHCP on Extreme Summit 24e3 ports

[Jacobite]

Hi There, I have never used a Extreme switch before and have recently "inherited" a setup with one of these switches in place.I am hoping someone can help me out as I am trying to enable DHCP on a few ports that have various VLANS already setup. I have tried the following command:-

enable dhcp ports <portlist> vlan <name>

However when I connect my laptop to one of these ports it does not pick up a ip of the switch however it is fine with a static ip.

Do I need to issue some further commands to get the DHCP working on the switch.

Many THanks

enable bootprelay
configure bootprelay add <ipaddress dhcp server>
(I think with a max of 4)
save

Hi there and thanks for the reply. I think the action you have suggested is to point traffic to a exisitng DHCP server. The network is made of a various VLANs of peer to peer pc's/laptops with no server/router to act as DHCP server so this is why I want the switch to act as DHCP server on a port to pc basis.

I have gone through the documentation again and have done the following commands e.g.

enable dhcp ports 6,7 vlan test1
config vlan test1 dhcp-address-range
192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.150
save

Yet when I connect a laptop to port 6 and try ipconfig /renew it just comes up limited connectivity and gives the loopback ip 169 etc.

Please help as I am going round in circles with this as I thought something like this would be very easy to do.....

Is port 6 and 7 actually apart of vlan test? If so Is it tagged or untagged in teh config?

Thanks Elbublitz! You were spot on because as soon as I changed a port from tagged to untagged the laptop is now picking up a dhcp address from the extreme switch. I thought it would be something simple like this but thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
