The ip pool server command creates an address pool for the DHCP server or displays the IP address pool view.
The undo ip pool command deletes an address pool from the DHCP server.
By default, no address pool is created for the DHCP server.

Usage Scenario
To create an address pool, run the ip pool command to configure address pool parameters, such as the gateway address, address pool lease, and VPN instance. Such an address pool can be used for the DHCP server to assign IP addresses.
Follow-up Procedure
After an address pool is created, run the section command in the IP address pool view to specify the network segment in which the IP address can be assigned from the address pool.
Precautions
Users cannot go online by borrowing IP addresses from the local server address pool.
