DHCP CLI Commands
The XSR offers CLI commands to provide the following functionality:

You can configure a DHCP address pool with a name that is a symbolic string (e.g.,
Accounting) with
pool mode -
XSR supports adding 1000 network addresses per pool and one DHCP pool per network.
• Create manual bindings of IP addresses and client hardware addresses - Manual bindings are
comprised of a:

• Set domain name and DNS server - To put a client in the general group of networks

• Specify the NetBIOS server and node type for Microsoft clients - DHCP clients query DNS
servers when they must resolve host names to IP addresses; enter an IP address of the
NetBIOS MS WINS server using
DHCP clients: broadcast, peer-to-peer, mixed, and hybrid. They can be specified using
netbios-node-type
• Configure a default router for the client - After a DHCP client has booted, the client begins
sending packets to its default router. The IP address of the default router is required and
should be on the same subnet as the client. Set using
• Configure the address lease time - IP addresses assigned by a DHCP Server have a one-day
lease - the interval during which the address is valid. Specify with
• Set the number of ping packets and ping wait interval - the DHCP Server pings an IP address
twice before assigning a particular address to a requesting client. If the ping is unanswered,
the server assumes (with a high probability) that the address is not in use and assigns the
address to the requesting client. Use
packets the server should send to the IP address before assigning the address .
