ypes of address pool
The address pools of a DHCP server fall into two types: global address pool and interface address pool.
A global address pool is created by executing the
dhcp server ip-pool
command in system view.
It is valid on the current device.

tructure of an address pool
The address pools of a DHCP server are hierarchically organized in a tree-like structure. The root holds
the IP address of the natural network segment, the branches hold the subnet IP addresses, and the
leaves holds the IP addresses that are manually bound to specific clients. The address pools that are of
the same level are sorted by their configuration precedence order. Such a structure enables
configurations to be inherited. That is, the configurations of the natural network segment can be
inherited by its subnets, whose configura
parameters that are common to the whole network segment or some subnets (such as domain

the details of configuration inheritance.
1) A newly created child address pool inherits the configurations of its parent address pool.

Th DHCP server observes the following principles to select an address pool to assign an IP address to

If the receiving interface works in the global address pool mode, the DHCP server assigns an IP
address from the global address pool to the DHCP client.
