Configuring IP Address Pools

Configuring IP Address Pools

Manual Pool Configuration Considerations

• The subnet of the IP address being issued should be on the same subnet as the ingress
interface (that is, the subnet of the host IP address of the switch, or if routing interfaces are
configured, the subnet of the routing interface).
• A manual pool can be configured using either the client's hardware address (set dhcp pool
hardware-address) or the client's client-identifier (set dhcp pool client-identifier), but using
both is not recommended.
• If the incoming DHCP request packet contains a client-identifier, then a manual pool
configured with that client-identifier must exist on the switch in order for the request to be
processed. The hardware address is not checked.
• A hardware address and type (Ethernet or IEEE 802) configured in a manual pool is checked
only when a client-identifier is not also configured for the pool and the incoming DHCP
request packet does not include a client-identifier option.

Purpose

To configure and clear DHCP address pool parameters, and to display address pool configuration
information.
