Command History

Release
Modification

12.0(1)T

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

DHCP provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network. Configuration parameters and other control information are carried in tagged data items that are stored in the options field of the DHCP message. The data items themselves are also called options. The current set of DHCP options are documented in RFC 2131, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.

Examples

The following example configures DHCP option 19, which specifies whether the client should configure its IP layer for packet forwarding. A value of 0 means disable IP forwarding; a value of 1 means enable IP forwarding. IP forwarding is enabled in the following example:

option 19 hex 01

The following example configures DHCP option 72, which specifies the World Wide Web servers for DHCP clients. World Wide Web servers 172.16.3.252 and 172.16.3.253 are configured in the following example:

option 72 ip 172.16.3.252 172.16.3.253

Command
Description

ip dhcp pool

Configures a DHCP address pool on a Cisco IOS DHCP server and enters DHCP pool configuration mode.


origin

To configure an address pool as an on-demand address pool (ODAP) or static mapping pool, use the origin command in DHCP pool configuration mode. To disable the ODAP, use the no form of this command.

origin {dhcp | aaa | ipcp | file url} [subnet size initial size [autogrow size]]

no origin {dhcp | aaa | ipcp | file url} [subnet size initial size [autogrow size]]

Syntax Description

dhcp

Specifies the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) as the subnet allocation protocol.

aaa

Specifies authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) as the subnet allocation protocol.

ipcp

Specifies the IP Control Protocol (IPCP) as the subnet allocation protocol.

file url

Specifies the external database file that contains the static bindings assigned by the DHCP server. The url argument specifies the location of the external database file.

subnet size initial size

(Optional) Specifies the initial size of the first requested subnet. You can enter size as either the subnet mask (nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn) or prefix size (/nn). The valid values are /0 and /4 to /30.

autogrow size

(Optional) Specifies that the pool can grow incrementally. The size argument is the size of the requested subnets when the pool requests additional subnets (upon detection of high utilization). You can enter size as either the subnet mask (nnnn.nnnn.nnnn.nnnn) or prefix size (/nn). The valid values are /0 and /4 to /30.


Defaults

The default size value is /0.

Command Modes

DHCP pool configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(8)T

This command was introduced.

12.3(11)T

The file keyword was added.


Usage Guidelines

If you do not configure the pool as an autogrow pool, the pool will not request additional subnets if one subnet is already in the pool.

Use the dhcp keyword to obtain subnets from DHCP, the aaa keyword to obtain subnets from the AAA server, and the ipcp keyword to obtain subnets from IPCP negotiation. If you expect that the utilization of the pool may grow over time, use the autogrow size option.

If a pool has been configured with the autogrow size option, ensure that the source server is capable of providing more than one subnet to the same pool. Even though the Cisco IOS software specifies the requested subnet size, it can accept any offered subnet size from the source server.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure an address pool named green to use DHCP as the subnet allocation protocol with an initial subnet size of 24 and an autogrow subnet size of 24:

ip dhcp pool green
  vrf green
  origin dhcp subnet size initial /24 autogrow /24
  utilization mark high 80
  utilization mark low 20

The following example shows how to configure the location of the external text file:

ip dhcp pool abcpool
 origin file tftp://10.1.0.1/staticbindingfile

Related Commands

Command
Description

show ip dhcp pool

no password

Syntax Description

0

(Optional) Unencrypted password. This is the default setting.

7

(Optional) Encrypted password.

password

(Optional) Password value for MD5 authentication.

Note This password must match the password configured on the host agent.

timeout

(Optional) Delay period, in seconds, during which both the old password and the new password are accepted. The valid range is from 0 to 65535. The default is 180.


Defaults

No password is enabled.

Command Modes

DFP agent configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(8a)E

This command was introduced.

12.2(14)S

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(14)S.

12.3(4)T

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)T.


Usage Guidelines

The timeout option allows you to change the password without stopping messages between the DFP agent and its manager. The default value is 180 seconds.

During the timeout, the agent sends packets with the old password (or null, if there is no old password), and receives packets with either the old or new password. After the timeout expires, the agent sends and receives packets only with the new password; received packets that use the old password are discarded.

If you are changing the password for an entire load-balanced environment, set a longer timeout. This allows enough time for you to update the password on all agents and servers before the timeout expires. It also prevents mismatches between agents and servers that have begun running the new password and agents, and servers on which you have not yet changed the old password.

Examples

The following example shows how to set the DFP agent password (unencrypted by default) to Cookies and the timeout to 360 seconds:

Router(config)# ip dfp agent slb
Router(config-dfp)# password Cookies 360
