XSR(config-if<F1>)#ip address dhcp
ip dhcp ping packets
This command specifies the number of packets a DHCP server sends to an IP address as part of a
ping operation. The DHCP server pings an IP address before assigning the address to a requesting
client. If the ping is unanswered, the DHCP server assumes that the address is not in use and
assigns the address to the requesting client. Setting the number argument to a value of 0 turns off
the DHCP server ping operation completely.
