DHCP Configuration Task List
6 Release 12.0(1)T
Configuring the DHCP Address Pool Subnet and Mask
To configure a subnet and mask for the newly created DHCP address pool, which contains the range
of available IP addresses that the DHCP server may assign to clients, use the following command in
DHCP pool configuration mode:
Note You can not configure manual bindings within the same pool that is configured with the
network command. To configure manual bindings, see the “Configuring Manual Bindings” section.
Configuring the Domain Name for the Client
The domain name of a DHCP client places the client in the general grouping of networks that make
up the domain. To configure a domain name string for the client, use the following command in
DHCP pool configuration mode:
Configuring the Domain Name System IP Servers for the Client
DHCP clients query DNS IP servers when they need to correlate host names to IP addresses. To
configure the DNS IP servers that are available to a DHCP client, use the following command in
DHCP pool configuration mode:
Configuring the NetBIOS Windows Internet Naming Service IP Servers for the
Client
Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) is a name resolution service that Microsoft DHCP clients
use to correlate host names to IP addresses within a general grouping of networks. To configure the
NetBIOS WINS servers that are available to a Microsoft DHCP client, use the following command
in DHCP pool configuration mode:
Command Purpose
Router(config-dhcp)# network
network-number [mask | /prefix-length] Specifies the subnet network number and mask of the DHCP
address pool.
The prefix length specifies the number of bits that comprise the
address prefix. The prefix is an alternative way of specifying
the network mask of the client. The prefix length must be
preceded by a forward slash (/).
Command Purpose
Router(config-dhcp)# domain-name
domain Specifies the domain name for the client.
Command Purpose
Router(config-dhcp)# dns-server address
[address2 ... address8] Specifies the IP address of a DNS server that is available to a
DHCP client. One IP address is required; however, you can
specify up to eight IP addresses in one command line.
Command Purpose
Router(config-dhcp)# netbios-name-server
address [address2 ... address8] Specifies the NetBIOS WINS server that is available to a
Microsoft DHCP client. One address is required; however, you
can specify up to eight addresses in one command line.
