With a fixed host configuration, also known as manual binding, you must configure a network pool with a matching subnet. The static hostto-MAC address mapping pool inherits the network mask from the network pool with subnet configuration, which includes the host's address range. Consider the following example: OS10# show running-configuration interface ethernet 1/1/2 ! interface ethernet1/1/2 no shutdown no switchport ip address 100.1.1.1/24 flowcontrol receive off OS10# show running-configuration ip dhcp ! ip dhcp server no disable ! pool host1 host 100.1.1.34 hardware-address 00:0c:29:ee:4c:f4 ! pool hostnetwork lease infinite network 100.1.1.0/24 ! pool host2 host 20.1.1.34 hardware-address 00:0c:29:aa:22:f4 In this example, the pool host1, which is the fixed host mapping pool, inherits the subnet and other attributes from the pool hostnetwork, which is the DHCP client IP address pool. There is no matching network pool for host2. Therefore, the DHCP client with the MAC address 00:0c:29:aa:22:f4 does not obtain the correct parameters. Configuring a DHCP client on a non-default VRF instance To configure a DHCP client on an interface that is part of a non-default VRF instance: 1 Enter the INTERFACE CONFIGURATION mode corresponding to the interface on which you want to configure a DHCP client. CONFIGURATION OS10(config)#interface interface-name interface 2/1/1 2 Assign the interface to the non-default VRF instance. INTERFACE CONFIGURATION OS10(config-inf)#ip vrf forwarding vrf-name ip vrf forwarding vrf-test 3 Configure the DHCP client on the interface that you have assigned to the non-default VRF instance.
