monitor network devices that dynamically obtain IP addresses universally and 
effectively.  
After configuring the connection between the DHCP global address pool and the BIMS 
server, you can enable the BIMS server to manage the devices that have obtained IP 
addresses from the global address pool.

2.3  Interface Address Pool-based DHCP Server 
Configuration 
 
  Caution:
In the interface address pool mode, after the addresses in the interface address pool 
have been assigned, the DHCP server picks IP addresses from the global interface 
address pool containing the segment of the interface address pool and assigns them 
to the DHCP clients. As a result, the IP addresses obtained from global address pools 
and those obtained from interface address pools are not in the same network segment, 
so the clients cannot interoperate with each other.   
In the interface address pool mode, if the IP addresses in the same address pool are 
required to be assigned to the clients on the same VLAN interface, the number of 
clients that obtain IP addresses automatically cannot exceed the number of the IP 
addresses that can be assigned in the interface address pool.
