Matching Client IP Address to Address-Assignment Pool

In the default configuration, the server selects the address-assignment pool to use by matching the IP address in the client DHCP request with the network address of the address-assignment pool. If the client request contains the gateway IP address (giaddr), the local server matches the giaddr to the address-assignment pool’s address. If there is no giaddr in the request, the DHCP local server matches the IP address of the receiving interface to the address of the address-assignment pool.
