NOTE
When a DHCP client is communicating with a server or a host outside the local network segment, the data
transmitted between them is forwarded or received by using the gateway.
To perform load balancing for traffic and improve network reliability, you can configure multiple gateways.
An address pool can be configured with a maximum of eight gateway addresses. Gateway addresses cannot
be subnet broadcast addresses.
Step 7
(Optional) Run:
static-bind
ip-address
ip-address
mac-address
mac-address
An IP address in the global address pool is statically bound to a MAC address.
If a user requires a fixed IP address, you can bind an unused IP address to the MAC address of
the user device.
NOTE
Before binding the IP address to a MAC address, ensure that the IP address is one of IP addresses that can be
dynamically assigned.
Step 8
(Optional) Run:
recycle
start-ip-address
[
end-ip-address
]
IP addresses that cannot be released from the IP address pool are recycled.

6.3.4 (Optional) Configuring the DNS Service and NetBIOS Service
Dynamically on the DHCP Client
When functioning as the DHCP server, the AR150/200 is configured to dynamically allocate
carrier-provided DNS and NetBIOS configurations to the DHCP clients.
Context
The DNS and NetBIOS configurations have been specified before the DHPC server allocates
IP addresses to the DHCP client. If you do not have the configurations allocated by the carrier,
dynamically allocate the DNS and NetBIOS configurations to the DHCP client.
NOTE
If the static DNS, NetBIOS, and domain name are available in the address pool, use the static configurations.
