Chapter 20 Configuring DHCP Features and IP Source Guard Features
Configuring DHCP Server Port-Based Address Allocation
not offered to the client, and other clients are not served by the pool. By entering this command, users
can configure a group of switches with DHCP pools that share a common IP subnet and that ignore
requests from clients of other switches.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode follow these steps to preassign an IP address and to associate it to
a client identified by the interface name.
To disable DHCP port-based address allocation, use the no ip dhcp use subscriber-id client-id global
configuration command. To disable the automatic generation of a subscriber identifier, use the no ip
dhcp subscriber-id interface-name global configuration command. To disable the subscriber identifier
on an interface, use the no ip dhcp server use subscriber-id client-id interface configuration command.
To remove an IP address reservation from a DHCP pool, use the no address ip-address client-id string
DHCP pool configuration command. To change the address pool to nonrestricted, enter the no
reserved-only DHCP pool configuration command.
In this example, a subscriber identifier is automatically generated, and the DHCP server ignores any
client identifier fields in the DHCP messages and uses the subscriber identifier instead. The subscriber
identifier is based on the short name of the interface and the client preassigned IP address 10.1.1.7.

address pool. The default is to not restrict pool
addresses.
