Configuring Address-Assignment Pools

The address-assignment pool feature supports subscriber management functionality by enabling you to create address pools that can be shared by different client applications. An address-assignment pool can support either IPv4 address or IPv6 addresses. You cannot use the same pool for both types of address.

Note: You cannot use address-assignment pools with the J Series Services Routers 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 specify the addresses for the pool.

   See Configuring an Address-Assignment Pool Name and Addresses.

2. (Optional) Configure named ranges (subsets) of addresses.

   See Configuring a Named Address Range for Dynamic Address Assignment.

3. (Optional) Create static address bindings (IPv4 only).

   See Configuring Static Address Assignment.

4. (Optional) Configure attributes for DHCP clients.

   See Configuring DHCP Client-Specific Attributes.

5. (Optional) Specify that the address-assignment pool is used for router advertisement.

   See Configuring an Address-Assignment Pool for Router Advertisement.
