Command Usage
• This command identifies a DHCP client to bind to an address specified in the
host command. If both a client identifier and hardware address are configured
for a host address, the client identifier takes precedence over the hardware
address in the search procedure.
• BOOTP clients cannot transmit a client identifier. To bind an address to a
BOOTP client, you must associate a hardware address with the host entry.
