host [
Use the host command to specify the IP address and subnet mask for a manual binding to a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client. Use the no form of this command to remove the configured client
address.
Syntax Description
Specifies the IP address (in dotted decimal notation) for a manual binding to a
DHCP client.
Optional. Specifies the network mask (subnet) for a manual binding to a DHCP
client.
If the subnet mask is left unspecified, the DHCP server examines its address
pools to obtain an appropriate mask. If no valid mask is found in the address
pools, the DHCP server uses the Class A, B, or C natural mask.
Optional. Alternately, the prefix length may be used to specify the number of bits
that comprise the network address. The prefix length must be preceded by a
forward slash ( / ). For example, to specify an IP address with a subnet mask of
255.255.0.0, enter /16 after the address.
Default Values
By default, there are no specified host addresses.
