DHCP Overview
Parameters
ip‐address
Defaults
None.
Mode
Router command, Any DHCP configuration mode.
Usage
The next server is the server the client will contact for the boot file if the primary server is not able
to supply it. A next server is usually specified in a manual DHCP binding configuration in order
to provide an IP address to a BOOTP client and allow the client to receive the TFTP server address
when downloading a boot file image.
The "no" form of this command removes the next server.
Example
This example shows how to specify 192.168.42.13 as the next server in the boot process:
Matrix>Router(config)#ip dhcp pool localpool
Matrix>Router(config-dhcp-pool)#next-server 192.168.42.13
