HP 7000 dl Router manual Host address subnet mask or prefix length

SROS Command Line Interface Reference Guide DHCP Pool Command Set

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

Use the host command to specify the IP address and subnet mask for a manual binding to a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client. Use the no form of this command to remove the configured client address.

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
	client.
	If the subnet mask is left unspecified, the DHCP server examines its address
	pools to obtain an appropriate mask. If no valid mask is found in the address
	pools, the DHCP server uses the Class A, B, or C natural mask.
<prefix length>	Optional. Alternately, the prefix length may be used to specify the number of bits
	that comprise the network address. The prefix length must be preceded by a
	forward slash ( / ). For example, to specify an IP address with a subnet mask of
	255.255.0.0, enter /16 after the address.

Default Values

By default, there are no specified host addresses.

Command Modes

(config-dhcp)# DHCP Pool

Usage Examples

The following examples show two different ways to specify a client with IP address 12.200.5.99 and a

21-bit subnet mask:

(config)#ip dhcp-server pool MyPool (config-dhcp)#host 12.200.5.99 255.255.248.0

or

(config)#ip dhcp-server pool MyPool (config-dhcp)#host 12.200.5.99 /21
