CLI Reference Guide
User this command to specify the number of packets that the DHCP server will
send as a part of the ping operation. Use the no form of this command to prevent
the server from pinging pool addresses.
The number of ping packets the DHCP server will send. From 0 to 10 where 0
stops the ping checks from being sent upon address assignment.
Two packets.
Global configuration
Before a DHCP server attempts to assign a pool address a to client, it tries to
ping the specific pool address. If the ping packet is unanswered, the DHCP
server assumes this pool address is currently available and is safe to assign to a
requesting client.
The following is a sample of configuring the number of ping packets as 3.
