To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Specify the IP address

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

Required
No IP addresses are statically

bound by default.

Specify the
MAC address

or client ID

Specify the MAC
address

static-bind mac-address
mac-address

Required to configure either of
the two
Neither is bound statically by

default.

Specify the client ID

static-bind client-identifier
client-identifier

Specify the lease duration for the IP
address

expired { day day [ hour hour
[ minute minute ] ] | unlimited }

Optional
By default, the lease duration of
the IP address is unlimited.

NOTE:

Use the static-bind ip-address command together with static-bind mac-address or static-bind
client-identifier to accomplish a static binding configuration.

In a DHCP address pool, if you execute the static-bind mac-address command before the static-bind
client-identifier command, the latter will overwrite the former and vice versa.

If you use the static-bind ip-address, static-bind mac-address, or static-bind client-identifier
command repeatedly in the DHCP address pool, the new configuration will overwrite the previous one.

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

The ID of the static binding must be identical to the ID displayed by using the display dhcp client
verbose command on the client. Otherwise, the client cannot obtain an IP address.

When the device serves as a DHCP client or BOOTP client, you must bind the DHCP client’s ID to an IP
address, or bind the BOOTP client's MAC address to an IP address on the DHCP server; otherwise, the

DHCP or BOOTP client cannot obtain a static IP address.

If the interfaces on a DHCP client share the same MAC address, you need to specify the client ID, rather
than MAC address, in a static binding to identify the requesting interface; otherwise, the client may fail

to obtain an IP address.

Configuring dynamic address allocation

For dynamic address allocation, you must configure a DHCP address pool, specify one and only one

address range for the pool, and specify the lease duration. A DHCP address pool can have only one

lease duration.
To avoid address conflicts, configure the DHCP server to exclude IP addresses used by the gateway or
FTP server from dynamic allocation.
Follow these steps to configure dynamic address allocation for a common address pool:

To do…

Use the command…
