dhcpv4-snooping external-storage

Description

Configures external storage to be used for backing up IP bindings (used by DHCPv4 snooping) to a file. When configured, the switch stores all the IP bindings in an external storage file so that they are retained after the switch restarts. When the switch restarts, it reads the IP bindings from the configured external storage file to populate its local cache.

The no form of this command disables the saving of IP bindings in an external storage file.
