dhcp define static-ip

Purpose

Define a static IP address for a specific MAC address.

Format

dhcp <scope> define static-ip <ipaddr> mac-address <macaddr> [<parameter> <value> ...]

Mode

Configure

Description

The dhcp define static-ip command allows you to configure a static IP address for a

specific MAC address. For example, you can define a static IP address for a printer’s MAC

address to ensure that the printer always receives the same IP address from the DHCP

server. Static IP addresses can be used for BOOTP clients as well as DHCP clients.

If you want a single MAC address to have different static IP addresses, depending upon

which subnet or interface the machine is on, you can configure different scopes with

different IP addresses that map to the same MAC address.

A client configured for a static IP address inherits the client parameters that are

configured for the scope. If you want to configure a specific group of parameters for a

static IP address, specify those parameters with the dhcp define static-ip command.

Parameters

<scope>

A name that refers to the specified static IP address.

The static IP address.

The MAC address to which the specified static IP address is to be mapped.
