Step Command

9.

(Optional.) Exclude the specified
IP addresses from dynamic

allocation globally.

dhcp server forbidden-ip
start-ip-address [ end-ip-address ]

Except for the IP address of
the DHCP server interface, IP
addresses in all address pools

are assignable by default.
To exclude multiple address

ranges globally, repeat this
step.

Configuring a static binding in a DHCP address pool

Some DHCP clients, such as a WWW server, need fixed IP addresses. To provide a fixed IP address for

such a client, you can statically bind the MAC address or ID of the client to an IP address in a DHCP

address pool. When the client requests an IP address, the DHCP server assigns the IP address in the static

binding to the client.
Follow these guidelines when you configure a static binding:

One IP address can be bound to only one client MAC or client ID. You cannot modify bindings that
have been created. To change the binding for a DHCP client, you must delete the existing binding

first.

The IP address of a static binding cannot be the address of the DHCP server interface. Otherwise,
an IP address conflict occurs and the bound client cannot obtain an IP address correctly.

To configure static bindings for DHCP clients that reside on the same device and use the same MAC
address, you must specify the client ID rather than the MAC address to identify a requesting
interface. Otherwise, IP address allocation will fail.

To configure a static binding:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter address pool view.

dhcp server ip-pool pool-name N/A

3.

Configure a static binding.

static-bind ip-address ip-address
[ mask-length | mask mask ]

{ client-identifier client-identifier |

hardware-address

hardware-address [ ethernet |
token-ring ] }

By default, no static binding is

configured.
To add more static bindings,
repeat this step.

4.

(Optional.) Specify the lease
duration for the IP address.

expired { day day [ hour hour
[ minute minute [ second second ] ] ]

| unlimited }

The default setting is 1 day.

Specifying gateways for the client

DHCP clients send packets destined for other networks to a gateway. The DHCP server can assign the

gateway address to the DHCP clients.
You can specify gateway addresses in each address pool on the DHCP server. A maximum of eight
gateways can be specified in DHCP address pool view or secondary subnet view.
