If you use the inheriting relation of parent and child address pools, make sure that
the number of the assigned IP addresses does not exceed the number of the IP
addresses in the child address pool; otherwise extra IP addresses will be obtained
from the parent address pool. The attributes (for example, gateway) also are based
on the configuration of the parent address pool.
For example, in the network to which VLAN-interface 1 is connected, if multiple
clients apply for IP addresses, the child address pool 10.1.1.0/25 assigns IP
addresses first. When the IP addresses in the child address pool have been
assigned, if other clients need IP addresses, the IP addresses will be assigned from
the parent address pool 10.1.1.0/24 and the attributes will be based on the
configuration of the parent address pool.
For this example, the number of clients applying for IP addresses from
VLAN-interface 1 is recommended to be less than or equal to 122 and the number
of clients applying for IP addresses from VLAN-interface 2 is recommended to be
less than or equal to 124.
