9.

(Optional.) Exclude the specified
IP addresses from dynamic

allocation globally.

dhcp server forbidden-ip
start-ip-address [ end-ip-address ]

Except for the IP address of
the DHCP server interface, IP
addresses in all address pools

are assignable by default.
To exclude multiple address

ranges globally, repeat this
step.

Configuring a static binding in a DHCP address pool

Some DHCP clients, such as a WWW server, need fixed IP addresses. To provide a fixed IP address for

such a client, you can statically bind the MAC address or ID of the client to an IP address in a DHCP

address pool. When the client requests an IP address, the DHCP server assigns the IP address in the static

binding to the client.
Follow these guidelines when you configure a static binding:

One IP address can be bound to only one client MAC or client ID. You cannot modify bindings that
have been created. To change the binding for a DHCP client, you must delete the existing binding

first.

The IP address of a static binding cannot be the address of the DHCP server interface. Otherwise,
an IP address conflict occurs and the bound client cannot obtain an IP address correctly.

To configure a static binding for a DHCP client whose the interfaces use the same MAC address,
you must specify the client ID, rather than the MAC address to identify a requesting interface.
Otherwise, the client might fail to obtain an IP address.

To configure a static binding:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter address pool view.

dhcp server ip-pool pool-name N/A

3.

Configure a static binding.

static-bind ip-address ip-address
[ mask-length | mask mask ]

{ client-identifier client-identifier |

hardware-address

hardware-address [ ethernet |
token-ring ] }

By default, no static binding is

configured.
To add more static bindings,
repeat this step.

4.

(Optional.) Specify the lease
duration for the IP address.

expired { day day [ hour hour
[ minute minute [ second second ] ] ]

| unlimited }

The default setting is one day.

193B

Configuring gateways for the client

DHCP clients send packets destined for other networks to a gateway. The DHCP server can assign the

gateway address to the DHCP clients.
You can specify gateway addresses in each address pool on the DHCP server. A maximum of eight
gateways can be specified in DHCP address pool view or secondary subnet view.
