Command Reference Guide DHCP Pool Command Set

host <address> [<subnet mask> or <prefix length>]

Syntax Description

<address> Specifies the IP address (in dotted decimal notation) for a manual binding to a

DHCP client.

<subnet mask> Optional. Specifies the network mask (subnet) for a manual binding to a DHCP

255.255.0.0, enter /16 after the address.
