Functional Notes
The AOS
DHCP server (by default) allows all IP addresses for the DHCP p ool to be assigned to requesting
clients. This command is used to ensure that the specified addr ess is neve r assigne d by the DHCP server.
When static addressed hosts are present in the network, it is helpful to exclude the IP addresses of the
host from the DHCP IP address pool. This will avoid IP address overlap.
Usage Examples
The following example excludes an IP address of 172.22.5.100 and the range 172.22.5.200 through
172.22.5.250:
(config)#ip dhcp-server excluded-address 172.22.5.100
