Controlling search behavior for address allocation from linked pools

You can use the linked-pool-aggregation statement at the [edit access address-assignment pool pool-name] hierarchy level to change how addresses are allocated from linked IP address pools. When you configure the statement, addresses can be assigned from a later pool in the chain before an earlier pool is depleted. When the statement is not configured, IP addresses are assigned contiguously, so that all addresses are allocated from the matching pool and then the first pool in the chain before addresses are assigned from a linked pool.
