Description
This command configures a DHCP pool on the controller.
Syntax
Usage Guidelines
A DHCP pool should be created for each IP subnetwork for which DHCP services should be provided. DHCP
pools are not specifically tied to VLANs, as the DHCP server exists on every VLAN. When the controller receives
a DHCP request from a client, it examines the origin of the request to determine if it should respond. If the IP
address of the VLAN matches a configured DHCP pool, the controller answers the request.
Example
The following command configures a DHCP pool:
(host) (config) #ip dhcp pool floor1
default-router 10.26.1.1
dns-server 192.168.1.10
domain-name floor1.test.com
Parameter Description
default-router IP address of the default router for the DHCP client. The client should be on the same subnetwork as
the default router. You can specify up to eight IP addresses.
dns-server IP address of the DNS server, which can be one of the following:
<address> IP address of the DNS server. You can specify up to eight IP addresses.
import Use the DNS server address obtained through PPPoE or DHCP.
domain-name Domain name to which the client belongs.
lease The amount of time that the assigned IP address is valid for the client. Specify the lease in <days>
<hours> <minutes>.
netbios-name-
server
IP address of the NetBIOS Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server, which can be one of
the following:
<address> IP address of the WINS server. You can specify up to eight IP addresses.
import Use the NetBIOS name server address obtained through PPPoE or DHCP.
network Range of addresses that the DHCP server may assign to clients, in the form of <ipaddr> and
