User Guidelines
PowerConnect supports dynamic, automatic, and manual address
assignment. Dynamic address assignment leases an address to the client for a
limited period of time. Automatic assignment assigns a permanent address to
a client. Manual (static) assignment simply conveys an address assigned by
the administrator to the client.
In DHCP Pool Configuration mode, the administrator can configure the
address space and other parameters to be supplied to DHCP clients. By
default, the DHCP server assumes that all addresses specified are available for
assignment to clients. Use the ip dhcp excluded-address command in Global
Configuration mode to specify addresses that should never be assigned to
DHCP clients.
To configure a dynamic DHCP address pool, configure the following pool
properties using the listed DHCP pool commands:
• Address pool subnet and mask – network
• Client domain name – domain-name

pool name.
