Hi all
Hi all

If I want to configure manual binding that doesn't working with hardware
address. Instead, if I specify the client identifies, it works.

ip dhcp pool cat
   host 10.20.30.40 255.255.255.0
   hardware-address 0001.0002.0003


The snippet below, claims that hardware address can be used with bootp
requests only. Logically, I feel that should be the case because bootp
request doesn't have options field. In the case of DHCP request, the option
61 is used to carry client identifier. Hence, it seems, the IOS expect
client identifies to be configured, if it a dhcp request.

Comments please.


Snippet from
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2/ip/configuration/guide/1cfdhcp.html#wp1001108

Router(dhcp-config)# client-identifier unique-identifier

Specifies the unique identifier for DHCP clients. This command is used for
DHCP requests.

Router(dhcp-config)# hardware-address hardware-address type

(Optional) Specifies a hardware address for the client. This command is
used for BOOTP requests.

With regards
Kings
