3.3 Configuring the DHCP Server Based on the Global
Address Pool
A DHCP server can allocate IP addresses to clients by using the global address pool.

3.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task

Before configuring the DHCP server based on the global address pool, familiarize yourself with
the applicable environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data.
This helps you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
On an enterprise network, if the computers are connected to the DHCP server through another
network, the global address pool needs to be configured on the S9300&S9300E to allocate IP
addresses to computers, as shown in
Figure 3-3 Networking diagram for configuring the DHCP server based on the global address
pool
