In addition to assigning IP addresses to DHCP clients on public networks, a multi-VPN-instance customer edge (MCE) serving as the DHCP server can also assign IP addresses to DHCP clients on private networks. Note that the IP address ranges of public and private networks or those of private networks on the DHCP server cannot overlap each other. For more information about MCE, see MPLS Configuration Guide.
