2. Create a DHCP address pool
and enter its view.
dhcp server ip-pool

By default, no DHCP address
pool exists.
Specifying IP address ranges for a DHCP address pool
You can configure both static and dynamic address allocation mechanisms in a DHCP address pool.
For dynamic address allocation, you can specify either a primary subnet with multiple address
ranges or a primary subnet with multiple secondary subnets for a DHCP address pool. You cannot
configure both.
Specifying a primary subnet and multiple address ranges for a DHCP address pool
Some scenarios need to classify DHCP clients on the same subnet into different address groups. To
meet this need, you can configure DHCP user classes and specify different address ranges for the
classes. The clients matching a user class can then get the IP addresses of an address range. In
addition, you can specify a common address range for the clients that do not match any user class. If
no common address range is specified, such clients fail to obtain IP addresses.
If there is no need to classify clients, you do not need to configure DHCP user classes or their
address ranges.
Follow these guidelines when you specify a primary subnet and multiple address ranges for a DHCP
address pool:
