the interface.

2.5.2 Enabling the Interface Address Pool Mode on Interface(s)

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.
