## Configure DHCP Address Pools

Address pools are used by servers to allocate the IP addresses to the client. You can specify the IP addresses that are available in the server to configure the clients. In this example, the address pool is `pool 1`, the network is `12.0.0.0`, and the mask is `255.0.0.0`.

1. Configure the address pool.

       SEFOS# configure terminal
       SEFOS(config)# ip dhcp pool 1

2. Configure the network and mask.

       SEFOS(dhcp-config)# network 12.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
       SEFOS(dhcp-config)# end

3. View the DHCP server pools that are available.

       SEFOS# show ip dhcp server pools

   The output in switch 1 is:

       Pool Id                      : 1
