Dhcp Server Database Update Interval - H3C IE4300 Command Reference Manual

As a best practice, back up the bindings to a remote file. If you use the local storage medium, the
frequent erasing and writing might damage the medium and then cause the DHCP server to
malfunction.
When the backup file is on a remote device, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
If the file is on an FTP server, enter URL in the following format: ftp://server address:port/file
path, where the port number is optional.
•
If the file is on a TFTP server, enter URL in the following format: tftp://server address:port/file
path, where the port number is optional.
•
If the IP address of the server is an IPv6 address, enclose the address in a pair of brackets, for
example, ftp://[1::1]/database.dhcp.
•
You can also specify the DNS domain name for the server address field, for example,
ftp://company/database.dhcp.

Usage guidelines
When a DHCP binding is created, updated, or removed, the waiting period starts. The DHCP server
updates the backup file when the waiting period is reached. All bindings changed during the period
will be saved to the backup file.
The waiting time takes effect only after you configure the DHCP binding auto backup by using the
dhcp server database filename
