Configuring DHCP Server Port-Based Address Allocation

Default Port-Based Address Allocation Configuration

By default, DHCP server port-based address allocation is disabled.

Port-Based Address Allocation Configuration Guidelines

These are the configuration guidelines for DHCP port-based address allocation:

Only one IP address can be assigned per port.

Reserved addresses (preassigned) cannot be cleared by using the clear ip dhcp binding global
configuration command.

Preassigned addresses are automatically excluded from normal dynamic IP address assignment.
Preassigned addresses cannot be used in host pools, but there can be multiple preassigned addresses
per DHCP address pool.

Enabling DHCP Server Port-Based Address Allocation

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to globally enable port-based address allocation
and to automatically generate a subscriber identifier on an interface.

After enabling DHCP port-based address allocation on the switch, use the ip dhcp pool global
configuration command to preassign IP addresses and to associate them to clients.

Command

Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

ip dhcp use subscriber-id client-id

Configure the DHCP server to globally use the
subscriber identifier as the client identifier on all
incoming DHCP messages.

Step 3

ip dhcp subscriber-id interface-name

Automatically generate a subscriber identifier based
on the short name of the interface.

A subscriber identifier configured on a specific
interface takes precedence over this command.

Step 4

interface interface-id

Specify the interface to be configured, and enter
interface configuration mode.

Step 5

ip dhcp server use subscriber-id client-id

Configure the DHCP server to use the subscriber
identifier as the client identifier on all incoming
DHCP messages on the interface.

Step 6

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 7

show running config

Verify your entries.

Step 8

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
