Configuration Procedure; Applying An Extended Address Pool On An Interface - HP 3600 v2 Series Configuration Manual

interface (connecting to the client). If the address pool contains no assignable IP address, the
server assigns an IP address from an address pool that resides on the same subnet as the
secondary IP addresses of the server interface. If the interface has multiple secondary IP
addresses, each address pool is tried in turn for address allocation. If the interface has no
secondary IP addresses, the server is unable to assign an IP address to the client.
Without the keyword subaddress specified, the DHCP server can only assign an IP address
from the address pool that resides on the same subnet as the primary IP address of the server
interface.

Configuration procedure

To enable the DHCP server on an interface:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Enable the DHCP server on
an interface.

Applying an extended address pool on an interface

After you create an extended address pool and apply it on an interface, the DHCP server, upon receiving
a client's request on the interface, attempts to assign the client the statically bound IP address first and
then an IP address from the specified address pool. If no IP address is available in this address pool,
address allocation fails, and the DHCP server will not assign the client any IP address from other address
pools.
Only an extended address pool can be applied on the interface. The address pool to be referenced must
already exist.

By default, the DHCP server has no
extended address pool applied on its
interface, and assigns an IP address from
a common address pool to a requesting
client.
