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
61200990L1-35E
Specifies the IP address (in dotted decimal notation) for a manual binding to a
DHCP client.
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.
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.
