in the client request (i.e., the request was not forwarded by a relay
server), the switch searches for a network pool matching the interface
through which the client request was received. It then searches for a
manually configured host address that falls within the matching
network pool. If no manually configured host address is found, it
assigns an address from the matching network address pool. However,
if no matching address pool is found the request is ignored.
• This command is valid for DHCP network address pools only. If the
mask is not specified, the class A, B, or C natural mask is used (see
page 4-253). The DHCP server assumes that all host addresses are
available. You can exclude subsets of the address space by using the ip
dhcp excluded-address command.
