COMMAND LINE INTERFACE

Usage Guidelines

When a client request is received, the switch first checks for a network address pool matching the gateway where the request originated (i.e., if the request was forwarded by a relay server). If there is no gateway in the client request (i.e., the request was not forwarded by a relay server), the switch searches for a network pool matching the interface through which the client request was received. It then searches for a manually configured host address that falls within the matching network pool. If no manually configured host address is found, it assigns an address from the matching network address pool. However, if no matching address pool is found the request is ignored.

This command is valid for DHCP network address pools only. If the mask is not specified, the class A, B, or C natural mask is used (see page 3-178). The DHCP server assumes that all host addresses are available. You can exclude subsets of the address space by using the ip dhcp excluded-addresscommand.

Console(config-dhcp)#network 10.1.0.0 255.255.255.0
