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

SROS Command Line Interface Reference Guide DHCP Pool Command Set

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

Use the network command to specify the subnet number and mask for an Secure Router OS Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server address pool. Use the no form of this command to remove a configured subnet.

Syntax Description

<ip address>	Specifies the IP address (in dotted decimal notation) of the DHCP address pool.
<subnet mask>	Optional. Specifies the network mask (subnet) for the address pool. If the subnet
	mask is left unspecified, 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 configured DHCP address pools.
