The DHCP Pools list provides the same pool-level functionality as the DHCP Groups pool lists, but includes all pools regardless of Group attachment.

Clicking on the pool name will open the Pool Details page, and clicking on the Subnet will open IPAM Mange for the assigned pool block.

The Pool Details page allows you to view, add, delete, and push individual DHCP Host and Subnet Pools. Under a pool, you may specify and update IP assignments, ranges, reservations and optionally set BOOTP Vendor Extensions /  DHCP Options to send to the DHCP server.
