Dell S6000–ON - Debugging the DHCP Server; Using DHCP Clear Commands; Configure the System to be a DHCP Client

Manual bindings can be considered single-host address pools. There is no limit on the number of manual
bindings, but you can only configure one manual binding per host.
NOTE: Dell Networking OS does not prevent you from using a network IP as a host IP; be sure to
not use a network IP as a host IP.
1. Create an address pool.
DHCP mode
pool name
2. Specify the client IP address.
DHCP <POOL>
host address
3. Specify the client hardware address.
DHCP <POOL>
hardware-address hardware-address type
• hardware-address: the client MAC address.
• type: the protocol of the hardware platform.
The default protocol is Ethernet.
Debugging the DHCP Server
To debug the DHCP server, use the following command.
• Display debug information for DHCP server.
EXEC Privilege mode
debug ip dhcp server [events | packets]
Using DHCP Clear Commands
To clear DHCP binding entries, address conflicts, and server counters, use the following commands.
• Clear DHCP binding entries for the entire binding table.
EXEC Privilege mode.
clear ip dhcp binding
• Clear a DHCP binding entry for an individual IP address.
EXEC Privilege mode.
clear ip dhcp binding ip address
Configure the System to be a DHCP Client
A DHCP client is a network device that requests an IP address and configuration parameters from a DHCP
server.
Implement the DHCP client functionality as follows:
• The switch can obtain a dynamically assigned IP address from a DHCP server. A start-up configuration
is not received. Use bare metal provisioning (BMP) to receive configuration parameters (Dell
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
