DHCP Pools

DHCP pools define a range of IP addresses that can be automatically assigned to clients. Aruba APs support multiple DHCP pools, allowing administrators to configure separate pools for different VLANs or network segments.

The Access Point DHCP Pools Summary card shows the five most utilized DHCP pools along with its utilization percentage. You can hover over on each DHCP pool bar chart to see how many IP addresses are leased out of the pool.
