PPPoE - Basic Question

Hi All,

While configuring PPPoE server to assign address via dhcp pool, I faced
issue in getting the address to client if I have only one address configured
in DHCP pool. When I increase the pool with 1 more address, things started
working fine.

Failure Config:
--------------------

ip dhcp excluded-address 2.2.2.4 2.2.2.255
ip dhcp excluded-address 2.2.2.1 2.2.2.2

ip dhcp pool DHCP
network 2.2.2.0 255.255.255.0

Working Config:
----------------------
ip dhcp excluded-address 2.2.2.4 2.2.2.255
ip dhcp excluded-address 2.2.2.1

ip dhcp pool DHCP
network 2.2.2.0 255.255.255.0

with local pool, I have no issues and things works as expected.

Can someone please explain why I am not able to get address via DHCP when I
have only one address in pool?.

Regards,
Nagendra
