Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

This command applies to DHCP servers. When configuring a DHCP server, run the ip pool (system view) command in the system view to create a global IP address pool and set parameters for the global IP address pool, including a gateway address, the IP address lease, and a VPN instance. Then the configured DHCP server can assign IP addresses in the IP address pool to clients.

Precautions

A maximum of 128 address pools, including global address pools and interface address pools, can be created on the device.

Follow-up Procedure

Run the network command to specify the range of the IP addresses in the pool.
