Command Usage
• First configure any excluded addresses, including the address for this switch.
• Then configure address pools for the network interfaces. You can configure up to
8 network address pools. You can also manually bind an address to a specific
client if required. However, any fixed addresses must fall within the range of an
existing network address pool. You can configure up to 32 fixed host addresses
(i.e., entering one address per pool).
• If the DHCP server is running, you must disable it and then reenable it to implement
any configuration changes. This can be done on the DHCP, Server, General page.
