Parameters

number: Sets the maximum number of ping packets, in the range of 0 to 10. To disable the address conflict detection, set the value to 0.

Usage guidelines

To avoid IP address conflicts, the DHCP server pings an IP address before assigning it to a DHCP client.

If a ping attempt succeeds, the server determines that the IP address is in use and picks a new IP address. If all the ping attempts fail, the server assigns the IP address to the requesting DHCP client.

Examples

# Set the maximum number of ping packets to 10.

[Sysname] dhcp server ping packets 10
