Once configured, the DHCP server will assign private addresses from within the defined private
address range with the highest available address being assigned first. This address range may be
modified using the “set range” command. Statically assigned addresses must be within this range as
well. Up to 20 static DHCP assignments may be configured and saved.
If the Default Network Mask is modified, the DHCP address range is likewise modified, with the
highest configurable address being assigned first, by default (also modifiable via the “set range”
command).
add dhcp entry <entry name>
Description: This command adds or edits a static DHCP assignment entry. An entry added to the
Static DHCP Assignment Table causes a DHCP client to be assigned the same IP address whenever a
DHCP client request is received from a machine with the specified MAC address.
Example:
Router> add dhcp entry daniel
enter IP address (Unspecified): 192.168.168.134
enter MAC address (Unspecified): 00-40-05-35-db-4f
Note that the format of the MAC address uses embedded dashes
add dns <primary/secondary> <IP_addr>
Description: This command allows the specific assignment of Domain Name Server (DNS) IP
addresses that will be subsequently assigned to requesting DHCP clients. Note that these addresses
also can be automatically obtained via protocol negotiation when connecting to a remote IP network,
e.g., a connection to an ISP. Both a primary DNS server address and a secondary DNS server address
may be assigned using separate commands.
delete dhcp entry <entry name>
Description: This command deletes the specified entry from the Static DHCP Assignment Table.
delete dns <primary/secondary>
Description: The specified Domain Name Server IP address will no longer be assigned by the DHCP
server to requesting clients. Note that a subsequent connection to an ISP may once again cause these
values to be assigned to requesting clients.
disable dhcp
Description: This command disables the Dynamic Host Control Protocol server functions within the
router. The router will no longer respond to lease requests. Existing leaseholders will not be able to
renew their leases after the lease term expires, unless another DHCP server resides within the network.
