Configuring DHCP Pools
The MSR2000 DHCP server supports multiple DHCP pools. Each DHCP pool is a
separate IP address space that the DHCP server uses to respond to lease requests for
specific pools. Each pool may be on different networks or uses different gateways and
domain-names. The pool-specific configuration controls the IP address, gateway, and
domain-name information the client devices would obtain through their DHCP requests.
Usually, pools are bind to specific BSSs and DHCP requests received from clients
associated to these BSSs would use different DHCP pools to honor the request. DHCP
pools may be configured manually on the MSR2000 or be automatically created.
Automatically created DHCP pools use the IP address prefix 172.16 through 172.31,
while manual DHCP pools may use any IP address prefix. Note: the DHCP pool IP
address prefix must not duplicate any other IP addresses or networks needed by
the mesh network.
The following table outlines the manual DHCP pool configuration commands:

Once enabled, DHCP server will be running as long as it has a valid configuration.
