Creating Manual Binding Entries An address binding is a mapping between the IP address and the media access control (MAC) address of a client. The DHCP server assigns the client an available IP address automatically, and then creates an entry in the binding table. However, the administrator can manually create an entry for a client; manual bindings are useful when you want to guarantee that a particular network device receives a particular IP address. Manual bindings can be considered single-host address pools. There is no limit on the number of manual bindings, but you can only configure one manual binding per host. NOTE: Dell Networking OS does not prevent you from using a network IP as a host IP; be sure to not use a network IP as a host IP. 1. Create an address pool. DHCP mode pool name 2.
