Example 2
device-name
#
configure terminal
device-name
(config)#
service dhcp
device-name
(config-dhcp)#
subnet 9.0.0.0/8
device-name
(config-dhcp-subnet)#
option subnet-mask 255.255.0.0
In the example 2, subnet 9.0.0.0/8 will have an optional subnet mask 255.255.0.0 (not the globally
defined one).
Setting a Broadcast Address
The
option broadcast-address
command, in DHCP Server Configuration or DHCP Subnet
Configuration mode, defines a broadcast address for the network. The
no
form of this command
removes the specified broadcast address.
Command Syntax
device-name
(config-dhcp)#
option broadcast-address A.B.C.D
device-name
(config-dhcp)#
no option broadcast-address
device-name
(config-dhcp-subnet)#
option broadcast-address A.B.C.D
device-name
(config-dhcp-subnet)#
no option broadcast-address
Argument Description
A.B.C.D
The broadcast address.
Example
The following example defines a broadcast address:
device-name
#
configure terminal
device-name
(config)#
service dhcp
device-name
(config-dhcp)#
option broadcast-address 20.20.0.255
Setting the WINS Name Servers
The
option wins-server
command, in DHCP Server Configuration or DHCP Subnet Configuration
mode, defines the NetBIOS Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) name servers that are
available to Microsoft DHCP clients. The
no
form of this command removes the defined WINS
server.
Up to five WINS servers can be configured.
Command Syntax
device-name
(config-dhcp)#
option wins-server A.B.C.D
device-name
(config-dhcp)#
no option wins-server A.B.C.D
device-name
(config-dhcp-subnet)#
option wins-server A.B.C.D
device-name
(config-dhcp-subnet)#
no option wins-server A.B.C.D
