Cat6k-MSFC: DHCP: need help with manual bindings

[tnatsukawa]

Hi, on my Cat6k-MSFC I'm having trouble setting DHCP manual bindings:

Router(config)#ip dhcp pool Guest

Router(dhcp-config)#host 172.16.69.2

% This command may not be used with network pools.

Router(dhcp-config)#hardware-address 0800.3712.9d76

% This command may not be used with network pools.

Am I missing something?

You are probably trying to configure the manual binding in an already existing network pool (a pool with the "network" command already entered).

What you can do is create another pool (which should be a host pool, i.e. no "network" command entered) and just specify the "host" and "hardware-address" commands.

Note that you can create only one manual binding per host pool, but there is no limitation to the number of manual bindings you can have on the router. So if you need multiple manual bindings, create that many host pools.

Hope that helps!

That was it! Thanks, Tatsuo
