DHCP Server Configuration Examples
This section contains the following examples:
• Configuring a Dynamic Address Pool
• Configuring a Static Address Pool

Configuring a Dynamic Address Pool

The commands in this example create an address pool that dynamically
assigns network information to hosts with DHCP clients that broadcast
DHCP messages. The hosts are assigned an IP address from the 192.168.5.0
network. The IP addresses 192.168.5.1–192.168.5.20, and 192.168.5.100 are
excluded from the address pool.
To configure the switch:
1
Enable the DHCP service and create an address pool named
“Engineering”, and then enter into DHCP pool configuration mode for
the pool.
console#configure
console(config)#service dhcp
console(config)#ip dhcp pool Engineering
2
Specify the IP addresses that are available in the pool.
console(config-dhcp-pool)#network 192.168.5.0
255.255.255.0
3
Specify the IP address to use as the default gateway.
console(config-dhcp-pool)#default-router
192.168.5.1
4
Specify the primary and secondary DNS servers the hosts will use.
console(config-dhcp-pool)#dns-server 192.168.5.10
console(config-dhcp-pool)#dns-server 192.168.5.11
5
Specify the domain name to be assigned to clients that lease an address
from this pool.
console(config-dhcp-pool)#domain-name
engineering.dell.com
console(config-dhcp-pool)#exit
