PROBE

probe type
Overview Use this command to set the probe type for a DHCP pool. The probe type specifies
how the DHCP server checks whether an IP address is being used by other hosts,
referred to as lease probing. If arp is specified, the server sends an ARP request to
determine if an address is in use. If ping is specified, the server will send an ICMP
Echo Request (ping).
The no variant of this command sets the probe type to the default setting, ping.
