Chapter 59 Configuring the Cisco IOS DHCP Server
Configuring DHCP Address Pools
Configuring a DHCP Address Pool
On a per-address pool basis, specify DHCP options for the client as necessary.
Before you configure the DHCP address pool, you must:
•
Identify DHCP options for devices where necessary, including the following:
–
Default boot image name
–
Default devices
–
Domain Name System (DNS) servers
–
Network Basic Input/Output System (NetBIOS) name server
–
Primary subnet
–
Secondary subnets and subnet-specific default device lists (see Configuring a DHCP Address
Pool with Secondary Subnets section for information on secondary subnets).
•
Decide on a NetBIOS node type (b, p, m, or h).
•
Decide on a DNS domain name.
Note
You cannot configure manual bindings within the same pool that is configured with the network DHCP
pool configuration command. To configure manual bindings, see the Configuring Manual Bindings
section.
