DHCP Commands
XSR CLI Reference Guide 15-93
Default
DCHP Client is not active on an interface
Mode
Interface configuration: XSR(config-if<xx>)#
Example
The following example enables DHCP Client:
XSR(config)#interface FastEthernet1
XSR(config-if<F1>)#ip address dhcp
ip dhcp ping packets
This command specifies the number of packets a DHCP server sends to an IP address as part of a
ping operation. The DHCP server pings an IP address before assigning the address to a requesting
client. If the ping is unanswered, the DHCP server assumes that the address is not in use and
assigns the address to the requesting client. Setting the number argument to a value of 0 turns off
the DHCP server ping operation completely.
Syntax
ip dhcp ping packets number
Syntax of the “no” Form
Use the no form of this command to prevent the server from pinging IP addresses:
no ip dhcp ping packets
Default
Two packets
Mode
Global configuration: XSR(config)#
Example
The following example specifies six ping attempts by the DHCP server toward an IP address
before stopping any further ping attempts:
XSR(config)#ip dhcp ping packets 6
ip dhcp ping timeout
This command specifies how long a DHCP server waits for a ping reply from an IP address.
number Sum of ping packets sent before assigning the address to a requesting client.
