Description

The Add-DhcpServerv4Reservation cmdlet reserves the specified IPv4 address in the scope for a client. Once reserved, the IP address is leased only to the client identified by the specific client identifier (ID).

Examples

Example 1: Add a reserved IP address

PS C:\> Add-DhcpServerv4Reservation -ScopeId 10.10.10.0 -IPAddress 10.10.10.8 -ClientId "F0-DE-F1-7A-00-5E" -Description "Reservation for Printer"

This example adds a reserved IP address for the client identified by the specified client ID.

Example 2: Add reservations from a file

PS C:\> Import-Csv -Path "Reservations.csv" | Add-DhcpServerv4Reservation -ComputerName "dhcpserver.contoso.com"

This example adds all of the reservations in the file that is named Reservations.csv to the DHCP server service that runs on the computer named dhcpserver.contoso.com. The Import-Csv cmdlet returns the objects that have reservation fields and pipes the objects to this cmdlet, which adds these reservations to the DHCP server services. The file that is named Reservations.csv should contain the reservations in the following comma-separated values (CSV) format:

ScopeId,IPAddress,Name,ClientId,Description

10.10.10.0,10.10.10.10,Computer1,1a-1b-1c-1d-1e-1f,Reserved for Computer1

20.20.20.0,20.20.20.11,Computer2,2a-2b-2c-2d-2e-2f,Reserved for Computer2

30.30.30.0,30.30.30.12,Computer3,3a-3b-3c-3d-3e-3f,Reserved for Computer3

Example 3: Convert a lease to a reservation

PS C:\> Get-DhcpServerv4Lease -ComputerName "dhcpserver.contoso.com" -IPAddress 10.10.10.11 | Add-DhcpServerv4Reservation -ComputerName "dhcpserver.contoso.com"

This example converts one of the leases into a reservation. The Get-DhcpServerv4Lease cmdlet returns the IP address lease object and pipes the object to this cmdlet, which creates the reservation with the IP address and client ID in the lease object.

Example 4: Create a reservation in a scope

PS C:\> $FreeIP = Get-DhcpServerv4FreeIPAddress -ComputerName "dhcpserver.contoso.com" -ScopeId 10.10.10.0
PS C:\> Add-DhcpServerv4Reservation -ComputerName "dhcpserver.contoso.com" -ScopeId 10.10.10.0 -IPAddress $FreeIP -ClientId "F0-DE-F1-7A-00-5E" -Description "Reservation for Printer"

This example creates a reservation for the client identified by the specified client ID from any of the free IP addresses in the scope 10.10.10.0. The Get-DhcpServerv4FreeIPAddress cmdlet gets a free IP address in the scope, and then this cmdlet reserves an address for the specified client ID.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete. The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet. For more information about Windows PowerShell® background jobs, see about_Jobs.

-Description

Specifies the description for the reservation to created.

Type:String
Aliases:ReservationDescription
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False

Type:IPAddress
Aliases:ReservedIP
Position:2
Default value:None
Required:True

-Name

Specifies the name of the reservation created. This parameter value can be the host name of the client or a name to identify the reservation on the DHCP server service.

Type:String
Aliases:HostName, ReservationName
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
