Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

To allow IP address assignment from an address pool, run the gateway command to configure a gateway address and a subnet mask for the address pool. If a DHCP client requests an IP address from the DHCP server, the DHCP server notifies the client of the gateway address and subnet mask using Option 3 and Option 1.

Precautions

A gateway address can be included only in an address segment on the local address pool.

Example

# Set a gateway address to 10.10.110.1 and a subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 for an address pool named huawei.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] ip pool huawei server
[*HUAWEI-ip-pool-huawei] gateway 10.10.110.1 255.255.0.0
