Usage Guidelines
◆ 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
found, it assigns an address from the matching network address pool. However,
if no matching address pool is found the request is ignored.
◆ This command is valid for DHCP network address pools only. If the mask is not
specified, the class A, B, or C natural mask is used. Subnet addresses are
