Applying an extended address pool on an interface
After you create an extended address pool and apply it on an interface, the DHCP server, upon receiving a client's request on the interface, attempts to assign the client the statically bound IP address first and then an IP address from the specified address pool. If no IP address is available in this address pool, address allocation fails, and the DHCP server will not assign the client any IP address from other address pools.
Only an extended address pool can be applied on the interface. The address pool to be referenced must already exist.
