Enabling DHCP reservations on M4250
Hi all, I am trying to add a couple of MAC address to a DHCP reservations list through the management Web UI of my M4250. I have already set up a DHCP pool and had the server assign IP's, now I w...
Hi, and thanks for your reply.
I have worked this out, with the help of one of your Pro AV team, and I was making a couple of mistakes. First, as you mentioned, I was adding these under the pool I was using for my main DHCP server, and not making a separate pool for each manual reservation I needed. Second, I hadn't cleared the dynamic reservations before I tried to make the manual ones.
I did end up doing all of this by using the CLI in the end using the following syntax.
service dhcp
ip dhcp pool "VLAN 200"
default-router 192.168.200.1
network 192.168.200.0 255.255.255.0
netbios-node-type b-node
exitip dhcp pool "Laptop"
default-router 192.168.200.1
hardware-address f8:75:a4:39:ad:de
host 192.168.200.10 255.255.255.0
netbios-node-type b-node
exitip dhcp pool "Printer"
default-router 192.168.200.1
hardware-address f8:75:a4:39:ad:de
host 192.168.200.11 255.255.255.0
netbios-node-type b-node

Hi HomerJayK,
Welcome to our community! :)
It seems that you are having problems adding a DHCP reservation on your switch. The MAC address that you want to use should be configured on the DHCP pool configuration after you created the pool. May I know the firmware version? If the switch is not running on the latest version, please do update the firmware first and re-do the configuration.
I hope this article might help too.
