Applying an address pool on an interface
Perform this task to apply a DHCP address pool on an interface.
Upon receiving a DHCP request from the interface, the DHCP server performs address allocation in the following ways:
If a static binding is found for the client, the server assigns the static IP address and configuration parameters from the address pool that contains the static binding.
If no static binding is found for the client, the server uses the address pool applied to the interface for address and configuration parameter allocation.
To apply an address pool on an interface:

2. Enter interface view. | interface interface-type interface-number | N/A |
3. Apply an address pool on the interface. | dhcp server apply ip-pool pool-name | By default, no address pool is applied on an interface. If the applied address pool does not exist, the DHCP server fails to perform dynamic address allocation. |
