Unable to execute dhcp-related commands on the remote shell , throughs an error message

Symptoms

〇n Remote Shell

 

mist@SRX340_01> show system services dhcp binding

node0:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

warning: dhcp subsystem not running - not needed by configuration.

Solution

The reason DHCP commands are not working in the RemoteShell is Mist uses JDHCP or extended DHCP of the DHCP daemon.

 

Therefore when it comes to Mist managed devices, we should use the following commands for DHCP

 

  • show dhcp server statistics
  • show dhcp statistics 
  • show dhcp server binding
