You can use internal address pools to select the block of addresses a particular

users local address comes from. You can name internal pools, but you must also

specify the pool name in the user’s group profile. For example, a profile for
software engineering and hardware engineering groups can select addresses from

the engineering address pool. You can also define a default internal address pool
to supply an address when the preferred pool is exhausted or otherwise
unavailable.

Configuring DHCP relay

The DHCP relay agent on a VPN Router forwards DHCP and BOOTP messages

between a server and a client on different subnets. When a locally attached host
issues a DHCP or BOOTP request as a broadcast message, the VPN Router relays
the message to a specified DHCP or BOOTP server. The DHCP relay agent also

forwards DHCP replies from server to client.

Note:

The DHCP relay agent can run only on all the private physical

interfaces and tunnels.

You can enable or disable DHCP relay for each interface and specify the DHCP

servers for each interface. When you enable DHCP relay on an interface, the VPN

Router forwards DHCP requests from the interface to the DHCP server configured

for the same interface.

The DHCP relay agent unicasts DHCP packets only to the specified Helper

servers (up to 3). Server 1 address is required. Server 2 and Server 3 addresses are

optional. Additionally, you can enable and disable each DHCP server by checking
or unchecking

Enable

.
