You need to enable DHCP before performing DHCP configurations. DHCP-related
configurations are valid only when DHCP is enabled.

If the DHCP server works in the interface address pool mode, it picks IP addresses
from the interface address pools and assigns them to the DHCP clients. If there is
no available IP address in the interface address pools, the DHCP server picks IP
addresses from its global address pool that contains the interface address pool
segment and assigns them to the DHCP clients.

You can assign IP addresses by static binding or assign IP addresses dynamically to
DHCP clients as needed.
Configuring to assign IP addresses by static binding
Some DHCP clients, such as WWW servers, need fixed IP addresses. This is
achieved by binding IP addresses to the MAC addresses of these DHCP clients.
When such a DHCP client applies for an IP address, the DHCP server finds the IP
address corresponding to the MAC address of the DHCP client, and then assigns
the IP address to the DHCP client.
