Lease - Enterasys Matrix DFE-Gold Series Configuration Manual

lease

Usage
These configuration parameters and other control information are carried in tagged data items
that are stored in the options field of the DHCP message to network hosts. All options specified in
Table 20‐1 on page 20‐2 may be configured using this command. Several commonly‐used options
may also be configured using dedicated commands: "domain‐name" on page 20‐9, "dns‐server"
on page 20‐10, "netbios‐name‐server" on page 20‐11, "netbios‐node‐type" on page 20‐11, and
"default‐router" on page 20‐12.
The parameter format of a site‐specific option must be either ascii or hex.
The "no" form of this command deletes one or all DHCP options.
Examples
This example shows how to configure DHCP option 19, which specifies whether the client should
configure its IP layer for packet forwarding. In this case, IP forwarding is enabled with the 01
value:
Matrix>Router(config)#ip dhcp pool localpool
Matrix>Router(config-dhcp-pool)#option 19 hex 01
This example shows how to configure DHCP option 72, which assigns one or more Web servers
for DHCP clients. In this case, two Web server addresses are configured:
Matrix>Router(config)#ip dhcp pool localpool
Matrix>Router(config-dhcp-pool)#option 72 ip 168.24.3.252 168.24.3.253
