7.1 Commands for DHCP
7.1.1 Commands for DHCP Server Configuration
7.1.1.1 bootfile
no bootfile
Function: Sets the file name for the DHCP client to import on boot up. The no command deletes this setting.
Parameters:
-
<filename>: name of the file to be imported, up to 255 characters are allowed.
Command mode: DHCP Address Pool Mode
Default: None.
Usage guide: Specify the name of the file to be imported for the client. This is usually used for diskless workstations that need to download a configuration file from the server on boot up. This command is used with ?next sever?.
Example: The path and filename for the file to be imported is ?c:tempnos.img?.
active500EM(dhcp-1-config)#bootfile c:tempnos.img
Related Command: next-server
7.1.1.2 clear ip dhcp binding
Function: Deletes the specified IP address (hardware address) binding record or all IP addresses (hardware address) binding records.
Parameters:
-
<address>: the IP address that has a binding record. The format of this parameter is in decimal format.
-
all: refers to all IP addresses that have a binding record.
Command mode: Admin Mode
Default: None.
Usage guide: The ?show ip dhcp binding? command can be used to view binding information for IP addresses and corresponding DHCP client hardware addresses. If, before the lease expires, the DHCP server is notified that a DHCP client is not using the assigned IP address, the DHCP server would not automatically remove the binding information. The system administrator can use this command to delete that IP address (client hardware address) binding manually, if ?all? is specified. If ?all? is specified, all auto binding records will be deleted and all addresses in the DHCP address pool will be reallocated.
Example: Remove all IP-hardware address binding records.
active500EM#clear ip dhcp binding all
Related Command: show ip dhcp binding
7.1.1.3 clear ip dhcp conflict
Function: Deletes an address in the address conflict log.
Parameters:
-
<address>: IP address that has a record conflict.
-
all: represents for all addresses that have record conflicts.
Command mode: Admin Mode
Default: None.
Usage guide: The ?show ip dhcp conflict? command can be used to check which IP addresses are in conflict. The ?clear ip dhcp conflict? command can be used to delete the record conflict for an address. If ?all? is specified, all record conflicts in the log will be removed. When records are removed from the log, the addresses are available for allocation by the DHCP server.
Example: 10.1.128.160 is identified as having a record conflict in the log. The record is not used and is deleted from the address conflict log.
active500EM#clear ip dhcp conflict 10.1.128.160
Related Commands: ip dhcp conflict logging, show ip dhcp conflict
7.1.1.4 clear ip dhcp server statistics
Function: Deletes the statistics for the DHCP server, clears the DHCP server count.
Parameters: None.

Usage guide: To enable conflict Ping-detection, one should enable the conflict address log. If the conflict address log is disabled, conflict Ping-detection will also be disabled. When a client is unable to receive Ping request messages (when blocked by a firewall, for example), this function will check local ARP according to the allocated IP. If a designated IP has a corresponding ARP, then an address conflict exists. Otherwise, it will be allocated to the client.
Example: Enable conflict Ping-detection.
active500EM(config)#ip dhcp conflict ping-detection enable
Related Commands: ip dhcp conflict logging, ip dhcp ping packets, ip dhcp ping timeout
7.1.1.19 ip dhcp ping packets

active500EM(config)# ip dhcp ping time out 600
Related Commands: ip dhcp conflict ping-detection enable, ip dhcp ping packets
7.1.1.21 lease
no lease
Function: Sets the lease time for addresses in the address pool. The no command restores the default setting.
Parameters:
-
<days>: the number of days from 0 to 365.
-
<hours>: number of hours from 0 to 23.
-
<minutes>: number of minutes from 0 to 59.
-
infinite: perpetual use.
Command mode: DHCP Address Pool Mode
Default: The default lease duration is 1 day.
Usage guide: DHCP is the protocol to assign network addresses dynamically instead of permanently. Lease settings should be decided upon based on network conditions. A lease duration that is too long offsets the flexibility of DHCP. A lease duration that is too short results in increased network traffic and overhead. The default lease duration for the switch is 1 day.
Example: Set the lease of DHCP pool ?1? to 3 days 12 hours and 30 minutes.
active500EM(dhcp-1-config)#lease 3 12 30
7.1.1.22 max-lease-time
no max-lease-time
Function: Set the maximum lease time for the addresses in the address pool. The no command restores the default setting.
Parameters:
-
<days>: number of days from 0 to 365.
-
<hours>:number of hours from 0 to 23.
-
<minutes>: number of minutes from 0 to 59.
-
infinite: perpetual use.
Command mode: DHCP Address Pool Mode
Default: The default lease time is 1 day.
Usage guide: This command is used for DHCP request packets with option51. If the lease time requested by the user exceeds the maximum configured lease time, the lease that the DHCP server assigns to the address becomes the maximum configured lease time. If the lease time requested by the user is less than the maximum configured lease time, the user requested lease time is used by the DHCP server. The maximum lease time is set by the administrator according to the actual conditions of the network. The maximum lease time is set to 1 day by default.
Example: Set the maximum lease time of the DHCP address pool1 to 3 days 12 hours and 30 minutes.
active500EM(dhcp-1-config)#max-lease-time 3 12 30

7.1.2.3 ip forward-protocol udp bootps
no ip forward-protocol udp bootps
Function: Sets DHCP relay to forward UPD broadcast packets on the port. The no command cancels the forwarding.
Parameters:
-
bootps: forwarding UDP port (67 DHCP broadcast packets).
Command mode: Global Mode
Default: Do not forward UPD broadcast packets.
Usage guide: The forwarding destination address is set in the ?ip helper-address? command described later in this chapter.
Example: Set DHCP packets to be forwarded to 192.168.1.5.
active500EM(config)#ip forward-protocol udp bootps active500EM(config)#interface vlan 1 active500EM(config-if-vlan1)#ip helper-address 192.168.1.5
