This section contains the following examples:

Configuring a Dynamic Address Pool

Configuring a Dynamic Address Pool

The commands in this example create an address pool that dynamically

assigns network information to hosts with DHCP clients that broadcast

DHCP messages. The hosts are assigned an IP address from the 192.168.5.0

network. The IP addresses 192.168.5.1–192.168.5.20, and 192.168.5.100 are

excluded from the address pool.
To configure the switch:

1 Create an address pool named “Engineering” and enter into DHCP pool

configuration mode for the pool.

console#configure

console(config)#ip dhcp pool Engineering

2 Specify the IP addresses that are available in the pool.

console(config-dhcp-pool)#network 192.168.5.0

255.255.255.0

3 Specify the IP address to use as the default gateway.

console(config-dhcp-pool)#default-router

192.168.5.1

4 Specify the primary and secondary DNS servers the hosts will use.

console(config-dhcp-pool)#dns-server 192.168.5.10

console(config-dhcp-pool)#dns-server 192.168.5.11

5 Specify the domain name to be assigned to clients that lease an address

from this pool.

console(config-dhcp-pool)#domain-name

engineering.dell.com

console(config-dhcp-pool)#exit

6 In Global Configuration mode, add the addresses to exclude from the

pool. Clients will not be assigned these IP addresses.
