To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Specify the IP addresses
that are not dynamically
assigned

dhcp server forbidden-ip
low-ip-address [ high-ip-address ]

Optional

By default, all IP addresses in a
DHCP address pool are
available for being dynamically
assigned.

z

The dhcp server forbidden-ip command can be executed repeatedly. That is, you can configure

multiple IP addresses that are not dynamically assigned to DHCP clients.

z

Use the dhcp server forbidden-ip command to configure the IP addresses that are not assigned

dynamically in global address pools and interface address pools.

z

If an IP address that is not to be automatically assigned has been configured as a statically-bound

IP address, the DHCP server still assigns this IP address to the client whose MAC address or client

ID has been bound.

Configuring a Domain Name Suffix for the DHCP Client

You can configure a suffix for the domain name in each DHCP interface address pool on the DHCP

server. The DHCP server provides the domain name suffix together with an IP address for a requesting

DHCP client.

Follow these steps to configure a domain name suffix for the client:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

interface interface-type interface-number

dhcp server domain-name domain-name

] }

Required

Not configured by
default.

Configuring DNS Servers for the DHCP Client

If a client accesses a host on the Internet through domain name, DNS is needed to translate the domain

name into the corresponding IP address. To enable DHCP clients to access hosts on the Internet

through domain names, a DHCP server is required to provide DNS server addresses while assigning IP

addresses to DHCP clients. Currently, you can configure up to eight DNS server addresses for a DHCP

interface address pool.
