36.2.3 Setting to distribute static IP to clients

Points to note

The example below shows how to distribute static IP addresses to DHCP clients and pair the IP addresses with the corresponding MAC addresses.

Figure 36-2: Client-server configuration (when a fixed IP is distributed)

Command examples

1. (config)# interface vlan 10

   (config-if)# ip address 10.1.11.1 255.255.255.0

   (config-if)# exit

   Sets the necessary VLAN interface and IP address in advance.

2. (config)# service dhcp vlan 10

   Specifies the name of the VLAN interface on which the DHCP server is enabled.

3. (config)# ip dhcp pool Client1

   Sets the name of the DHCP address pool for DHCP client A.

   Switches to DHCP configuration mode.

4. (dhcp-config)# host 10.1.11.50 255.255.255.0

   Sets a static IP address for DHCP client A in the DHCP address pool.

5. (dhcp-config)# hardware-address 0012.e2ef.1111 ethernet

   Sets the MAC address for DHCP client A in the DHCP address pool.

6. (dhcp-config)# default-router 10.1.11.1

   (dhcp-config)# exit

   Sets the IP address of the router on the subnet.

7. (config)# ip dhcp pool Client2

   (dhcp-config)# host 10.1.11.100 255.255.255.0

   (dhcp-config)# hardware-address 0012.e2ef.2222 ethernet

   (dhcp-config)# default-router 10.1.11.1

   Repeats steps 3 through 6 to set the name of the DHCP address pool for DHCP client B, and to set a static IP address and MAC address for DHCP client B in the Client2 DHCP address pool.
