Command Usage
• Host addresses must fall within the range specified for an existing
network pool.
• 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.
• When searching for a manual binding, the ECN330-switch compares
the client identifier for DHCP clients, and then compares the hardware
address for DHCP or BOOTP clients.
• If no manual binding has been specified for a host entry with the
client-identifier or hardware-address commands, then the
ECN330-switch will assign an address from the matching network pool.
