24.1.22 network-address

Command:

network-address <network-number> [<mask> | <prefix-length>]

no network-address

Function:

Sets the scope for assignment for addresses in the pool; the “no network-address” command

cancels the setting.

Parameters:

<network-number> is the network number;

<mask> is the subnet mask in the decimal format;

<prefix-length> stands for mask in prefix form. For example, mask 255.255.255.0 in prefix is “24”,

and mask 255.255.255.252 in prefix is “30”. Note: When using DHCP server, the pool mask should

be longer or equal to that of layer 3 interface IP address in the corresponding segment.

Default:

If no mask is specified, default mask will be assigned according to the address class.

Command Mode:

DHCP Address Pool Mode

Usage Guide:

This command sets the scope of addresses that can be used for dynamic assignment by the DHCP

server; one address pool can only have one corresponding segment. This command is exclusive

with the manual address binding command “hardware address” and “host”.

Example:

Configuring the assignable address in pool 1 to be 10.1.128.0/24.

Switch(dhcp-1-config)#network-address 10.1.128.0 24

24.1.23 next-server

Command:

next-server <address1>[<address2>[…<address8>]]

no next-server

Function:

Sets the server address for storing the client import file; the “no next-server” command cancels the

setting.

Parameters:

<address1>…<address8> are IP addresses, in the decimal format.

Command Mode:

DHCP Address Pool Mode

Usage Guide:

This command configures the address for the server hosting client import file. This is usually used

for diskless workstations that need to download configuration files from the server on boot up. This

command is used together with “bootfile”.

Example:

Setting the hosting server address as 10.1.128.4.
