DGS-3610 Series Configuration Guide Chapter 20 DHCP Configuration
To define manual address binding, you first need to define a host address pool for each
manual binding, and then define the IP address and hardware address or client ID for the
DHCP client. The MAC address is the hardware address. Generally, a client ID, instead of a
MAC address, is defined for the Microsoft clients. The client ID contains network media type
and MAC address. For the codes of media types, refer to description in RFC 1700 regarding
―Address Resolution Protocol Parameters‖. The code for Ethernet type is ―01‖.
To configure the manual address binding, execute the following commands in the address
pool configuration mode:
DGS-3610(config)# ip dhcp pool name
Define the name of address pool and enter the
DHCP configuration mode
DGS-3610(dhcp-config)# host address
Define an IP address for the client
DGS-3610(dhcp-config)# hardware-address
hardware-address type
DGS-3610(dhcp-config)# client-identifier
unique-identifier
Define a hardware address for the client, such as
aabb.bbbb.bb88
Define the client ID, such as 01aa.bbbb.bbbb.88
DGS-3610(dhcp-config)# client-name name
(Optional) Define the client name using standard
ASCII characters. Don't include domain name in the
client name. For example, if you define the mary
host name, do not define as mary.rg.com
20.5.14 Configuring Number of Packet Ping
By default, when trying to assign an IP address in the address pool, the DHCP server will
perform the Ping command twice on this address (one packet for each time) If there is no
response to the Ping command, the DHCP server considers this address an idle address
and assigns it to the DHCP client. If there is a response to the Ping command, the DHCP
server considers that this address is in use and tries to assign another address to the DHCP
client until an address is assigned successfully.
To configure the number of Ping packets, execute the following commands in the global
configuration mode:
DGS-3610(config)# ip dhcp ping
packets number
Configure the number of Ping packets before the
DHCP server assigns an address. If it is set to 0, the
Ping operation is not performed. The default value
is 2.
