Routed Address Pools (DHCP)

With a routed address pool, IP addresses are dynamically allocated to the tunnel clients from a DHCP server. DHCP address pools have these characteristics:

• They require an external server that has enough spare addressing capacity to support the new remote clients. These pools are easy to set up and maintain, and impose few restrictions on client activity.
• Reverse connections and cross-connections are supported, but client IP addresses must be known. If necessary, you can associate a fixed DHCP address with a particular client by configuring the DHCP client ID on the DHCP server. Client IDs are generated during client configuration; consult the DHCP server logs to find particular IDs.
