Configuration Steps
Configuring Excluded IP Address

Run the ip dhcp excluded-address command in global configuration mode.
Configuring Compulsory NAK Reply
Optional. A server replies to a wrong address request with a NAK packet.
Run the ip dhcp force-send-nak command in global configuration mode.
Configuring VRRP Status Monitoring
Optional. After configuration, DHCP packets are processed by the Master server.
Run the ip dhcp monitor-vrrp-state command in global configuration mode.
Configuring Ping Times
Optional. Check the address reachability with the ping command. The default is 2.
Run the ip dhcp ping packet command in global configuration mode.
Configuring Ping Timeout
Optional. Check the address reachability with the ping command. The default is 500 ms.

configured with the update arp command.
Run the ip dhcp refresh arp command in global configuration mode.
Detecting User Offline Detection
