The DHCP Binding Database

DHCP snooping maintains a database of up to 8192 DHCP bindings on untrusted ports. Each binding
consists of:
• Client MAC address
• Port number
• VLAN identifier
• Leased IP address
• Lease time
The switch can be configured to store the bindings at a specific URL so they will not be lost if the
switch is rebooted. If the switch is rebooted, it will read its binding database from the specified
location. To configure this location use this command.
