2.3.1  Configuration Overview 
An interface address pool is created when the interface is assigned a valid unicast IP 
address and you execute the dhcp select interface command in interface view. The 
IP addresses contained in it belong to the network segment where the interface 
resides in and are available to the interface only. 
You can perform certain configurations for DHCP address pools of an interface or 
multiple interfaces within specified interface ranges. Configuring for multiple interfaces 
eases configuration work load and makes you to configure in a more convenient way.
