## Configure the Next Server

You can configure the IP address for the next server so the client avoids unnecessary broadcast packets if the server that offered the IP address is currently unavailable for renewal. In this example, the next server in the DHCP configuration is assigned an IP address of `12.0.0.5`.

1. Configure the server's IP address in switch 1.

       SEFOS# configure terminal
       SEFOS(config)# ip dhcp next-server 12.0.0.5
       SEFOS(config)# end

2. View the changes to the configuration in switch 1.

       SEFOS# show ip dhcp server information
