Configuring Address Pools
Use the IP Service > DHCP > Server (Configure Pool – Add) page configure IP
address pools for each IP interface that will provide addresses to attached clients
via the DHCP server.
Command Usage
◆ First configure address pools for the network interfaces. Then you can manually
bind an address to a specific client if required. However, note that any static
host address must fall within the range of an existing network address pool.
You can configure up to 8 network address pools, and up to 32 manually bound
host address pools (i.e., one address per host pool). Just note that any address
specified in a host address pool must fall within the range of a configured
network address pool.
◆ When a client request is received, the switch first checks for a network address
pool matching the gateway where the request originated (i.e., if the request
was forwarded by a relay server). If there is no gateway in the client request (i.e.,
the request was not forwarded by a relay server), the switch searches for a
network pool matching the interface through which the client request was
received. It then searches for a manually configured host address that falls
within the matching network pool. If no manually configured host address is
