Enter system view. 2. Create a DHCP address pool and enter its view. Command system-view dhcp server ip-pool pool-name Remarks N/A By default, no DHCP address pool is created. Specifying IP address ranges for a DHCP address pool You can configure both static and dynamic address allocation mechanisms in a DHCP address pool. For dynamic address allocation, you can specify either a primary subnet with multiple address ranges or a primary subnet with multiple secondary subnets for a DHCP address pool, but you cannot configure both. Specifying a primary subnet and multiple address ranges for a DHCP address pool Some scenarios need to classify DHCP clients in the same subnet into different address groups. To satisfy this need, you can configure DHCP user classes and specify different address ranges for the classes so that the clients matching a user class get the IP addresses of a specific address range. In addition, you can specify a common address range for the clients that do not match any user class. If no common address range is specified, such clients fail to obtain IP addresses. If there is no need to classify clients, you do not need to configure DHCP user classes or their address ranges. Follow these guidelines when you specify a primary subnet and multiple address ranges for a DHCP address pool: • If you use the network or address range command multiple times for the same address pool, the most recent configuration takes effect. • IP addresses specified by the forbidden-ip command are not assignable in the current address pool, but are assignable in other address pools. IP addresses specified by the dhcp server forbidden-ip command are not assignable in any address pool. To specify a primary subnet and multiple address ranges for a DHCP address pool: 32

Specifying IP address ranges for a DHCP address pool
You can configure both static and dynamic address allocation mechanisms in a DHCP address pool. For
dynamic address allocation, you can specify either a primary subnet with multiple address ranges or a
primary subnet with multiple secondary subnets for a DHCP address pool, but you cannot configure
both.
Specifying a primary subnet and multiple address ranges for a DHCP address pool
Some scenarios need to classify DHCP clients in the same subnet into different address groups. To satisfy
this need, you can configure DHCP user classes and specify different address ranges for the classes so
that the clients matching a user class get the IP addresses of a specific address range. In addition, you
can specify a common address range for the clients that do not match any user class. If no common
address range is specified, such clients fail to obtain IP addresses.
If there is no need to classify clients, you do not need to configure DHCP user classes or their address
ranges.
Follow these guidelines when you specify a primary subnet and multiple address ranges for a DHCP
address pool:
If you use the
network
or
address range
command multiple times for the same address pool, the
most recent configuration takes effect.
IP addresses specified by the
forbidden-ip
command are not assignable in the current address pool,
but are assignable in other address pools. IP addresses specified by the
dhcp server forbidden-ip
command are not assignable in any address pool.
