Configuring Address-Assignment Pools Overview

The address-assignment pool feature supports subscriber management functionality by enabling you to create address pools that can be shared by different client applications.

Note: You cannot use address-assignment pools with the J-series DHCP server. Also, address-assignment pools are completely separate from L2TP address pools, which you create with the address-pool statement at the [edit access] hierarchy level, and NAT pools, which you create with the pool statement at the [edit services nat] hierarchy level.

To configure an address-assignment pool:

1. Configure the address-assignment pool name and network address.

   See Configuring an Address-Assignment Pool Name and Network Address.

2. (Optional) Configure named subsets of addresses.

   See Configuring a Named Address Range for Dynamic Address Assignment.

3. (Optional) Create static address bindings.

   See Configuring Static Address Assignment.

4. (Optional) Configure attributes for DHCP clients.

   See Configuring DHCP Client-Specific Attributes.
