• mask - The bit combination that identifies the network (or subnet)
and the host portion of the DHCP address pool.
Command Mode
DHCP Pool Configuration
Command Usage
• When a client request is received, the ECN330-switch first checks for a
network address pool matching the gateway where the request
originated (that is, if the request was forwarded by a relay server). If
there is no gateway in the client request (that is, the request was not
forwarded by a relay server), the ECN330-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 (see
page 428). The DHCP server assumes that all host addresses are
available. Subsets of the address space can be excluded by using the
ip dhcp excluded-address command.
