You can give a meaningful name that can be memorized easily to the DHCP address pool.
The name of address pool contains characters and digits. Our producet allows you to define
multiple address pools. The IP address of relay agent in the DHCP request packet is used to
determine which address pool is used for address assignment.
If the DHCP request packet does not contain the IP address of the relay agent, the
address that is in the same subnet or network as the IP address of the interface that
receives the DHCP request packet is assigned to the client. If no address pool is
defined for this network segment, address assignment fails.
If the DHCP request packet contains the IP address of the relay agent, the address that
is in the same subnet or network as this address is assigned to the client. If no address
pool is defined for this network segment, address assignment fails.
To configure a DHCP address pool, perform the following tasks as appropriate, of which the
first three tasks are compulsory:
Configure an address pool and enter its configuration mode (compulsory)
Configure a subnet and its mask for the address pool (compulsory)
Configure the default gateway for the client (compulsory)
Configure the address lease period (optional)
Configure the domain name of the client (optional)
Configuring the domain name server (optional)
Configure the NetBIOS WINS server (optional)
Configure the NetBIOS node type for the client (optional)
20.5.4 Configuring Address Pool Name and
Enter Its Configuration Mode
To configure an address pool name and enter the address pool configuration mode, execute
the following command in the global configuration mode:
The address pool configuration mode is shown as ―DGS-3610(dhcp-config)#‖.
20.5.5 Configuring Client Boot File
The client boot file is a boot image file to be used when the client starts. The boot image file
is often the operating system to be downloaded by the DHCP client.
To configure the boot file of the client, execute the following command in the address pool
configuration mode:
