Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

This command applies to DHCP servers. To apply DHCP services in a VPN instance, you need to run the vpn-instance command to bind the created IP address pool to the VPN instance.

Prerequisites

A VPN instance has been created using the ip vpn-instance command.

Precautions

The VPN instance bound to the IP address pool on the DHCP server must be the same as the VPN instance bound to the DHCP server group on the DHCP relay agent; otherwise, users in the IP address pool cannot go online using this DHCP server group.
If an IP address pool is bound to a VPN instance, IP addresses assigned from this address pool are VPN addresses.
To bind an interface address pool to a VPN instance, run the ip binding vpn-instance command in the interface view.

Example

# Bind the address pool global1 to the VPN instance huawei.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] ip vpn-instance huawei
[HUAWEI-vpn-instance-huawei] ipv4-family
[HUAWEI-vpn-instance-huawei-af-ipv4] quit
[HUAWEI-vpn-instance-huawei] quit 
[HUAWEI] ip pool global1
[HUAWEI-ip-pool-global1] vpn-instance huawei
