1056 Configuring DHCP Server and Relay Settings
Configuring a Static Address Pool

Beginning in Privileged EXEC mode, use the following commands to create a

static address pool and specify the network information for the pool. The

network information configured in the static address pool is assigned only to

the host with the hardware address or client identifier that matches the

information configured in the static pool.

Command Purpose
configure Enter Global Configuration mode.
ip dhcp pool
name
Create a DHCP address pool and enters DHCP pool
configuration mode.
client-name
name
Specify the DHCP client name.
hardware-address

mac

type
]
Specify the hardware address of the client in the static
pool.
•
mac
—MAC address of the hardware platform of the
client consisting of 6 bytes in dotted hexadecimal format.
•
type
— Indicates the protocol of the hardware platform.
It is 1 for Ethernet and 6 for IEEE 802.
client-identifier

uniqueidentifier

Specify the unique identifier for a DHCP client. The
unique-identifier is a valid notation in hexadecimal
format.
In some systems, such as Microsoft DHCP clients, the
client identifier is required instead of hardware addresses.
The unique-identifier is a concatenation of the media type
and the MAC address. For example, the Microsoft client
identifier for Ethernet address c819.2488.f177 is
01c8.1924.88f1.77 where 01 represents the Ethernet media
type.
