Address Pools

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

After the address range and exclusion ranges are defined, the remaining addresses form the available address pool within the scope. These addresses are eligible for dynamic assignment by the server to DHCP clients on the network. Table 2.2 shows the address pool for each subnet prior to adding the exclusion ranges used to apply the 80/20 rule.
