Usage Guidelines
• When a client request is received, the switch first checks for a network
address pool matching the gateway where the request originated (i.e., if
the request was forwarded by a relay server). If there is no gateway 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.
