defined, the natural network mask will be used by default.
No network number or network mask is defined by default.
DHCP address pool configuration mode.
This command defines the subnet and subnet mask of a DHCP address pool, and provides the DHCP
server with an address space which can be assigned to the clients. Unless excluded addresses are
configured, all the addresses of the DHCP address pool can be assigned to the clients. The DHCP
server assigns the addresses in the address pool orderly. If the DHCP server found an IP address is
in the DHCP binding table or in the network segment, it checks the next until it assigns an effective IP
address.
The show ip dhcp binding command can be used to view the address assignment, and the show ip
dhcp conflict command can be used to view the address conflict detection configuration.
The following example defines the network number of the DHCP address pool as 192.168.12.0, and
the network mask as 255.255.255.240.
network 192.168.12.0 255.255.255.240
Defines the IP addresses that the DHCP server cannot assign to the
clients.
Defines the name of the DHCP address pool and enters the DHCP
address pool configuration mode.
Use this command to define the startup sever list that the DHCP client accesses during startup in the
DHCP address configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to restore the default setting.
next-server ip-address [ ip-address2…ip-address8 ]
Defines the IP address of the startup server, which is usually the
TFTP server. It is required to configure one IP address at least.
(Optional) Up to 8 startup servers can be configured.
