• lease – DHCP lease time, up to 8 days;

• default-router – default gateway IP address, accepts up to 8 addresses;

• dns-server – DNS server IP address, accepts up to 8 addresses;

• range – address range of a network dhcp pool, supports multiple instances (range is a required

parameter for a network pool);

• mac-address – MAC address of a host dhcp pool (mac-address is a required parameter for a host

pool).

After the DHCP server is enabled, network pools and ranges are bound to the real network interfaces.

The binding procedure selects suitable network pools from the pool tree and truncates the address

ranges according to the interface subnet boundaries. Although the pool binding procedure performs a

range sanity check automatically, it is recommended to set valid ranges before enabling the DHCP

server.

EION: ip dhcp pool p1

EION(dhcp-config): network 10.0.0.0 255.255.0.0

Pool "p1": network 10.0.0.0 255.255.0.0

EION(dhcp-config): dns-server 94.66.78.1

EION(dhcp-config): range 10.0.1.10 10.0.1.120

Added range: 10.0.1.10 10.0.1.120.

EION(dhcp-config): range 10.0.1.140 10.0.1.160

Added range: 10.0.1.140 10.0.1.160.
