These are a special case. If the exclusion range borders the starting or ending IP address of the DHCP range, the address pool is shortened to the first or last valid IP address in the range on Address Manager.
For example, if you created the following DHCP range: 192.168.1.50—192.168.1.100,
and then created an exclusion range of 192.168.1.50—192.168.1.55 the deployed
address pool would be 192.168.1.56—192.168.1.100.
Note: If you need to exclude IP
addresses that border the first or the last IP addresses in a range, BlueCat recommends that you
start (or end) the range without including bordering exclusions.
