-> dhcp-server enable
ERROR: Parse error for /flash/switch/dhcpd.pcy.
Please correct it & restart the DHCP server.

I think you did it wrong..

just kidding.. don't ask if anyone can help.

Post your config/problems/issues.. post what works, what does not work, what you expect, what you have tried aso..
http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

if it shows a parse error in dhcpd.pcy ..

maybe you want to post that here?

Have you tried an copy and paste from the docs to check whether it works in general?

I would upgrade to latest code as there where multiple bugs fixed regarding dhcp.

If you have correct dhcpd.pcy and dhcpd.conf, I found that you have to do in this order:

dhcp-server restart
dhcp-server enable

What is dhcp.pcy file ? Please share as sample.

its a dhcp-policy file. It can be an empty file with this name.

dhcp.pcy is the config file for the dhcp.
It is described in the manuals and an example can be gathered from https://service.esd.alcatel-lucent.com/ ... c6ToRdx5gi

I would upgrade to the latest code, afaik there have been multiple bugs fixed, which were related to dhcp.
Also from my experiences: If you have abother box that can do dhcp (Firewall/Server) it would be a good idea to use that one instead of the switch.
