  • dhcps – Dynamic Host Control Protocol Server
  • dhcpc – Dynamic Host Control Protocol Client

maxentries Specifies the maximum number of entries the node alias agent will discover for the specified port(s).
port-string If the enable or disable parameter is used, the port-string parameter specifies the port(s) on which to enable or disable a node alias agent. If the maxentries parameter is used, port-string specifies the port(s) on which to limit the maximum number of entries the node alias agent will discover.

All command modes.

Usage

Upon packet reception, node aliases are dynamically assigned to ports enabled with an alias agent, which is the default setting on Extreme Networks S- K- and 7100-Series devices. Node aliases cannot be statically created, but can be deleted using clear nodealias.

Example

This example shows how to disable the node alias agent on ge.1.13:
