To further control how the appliance allocates IPv4 or IPv6 addresses to DHCP client requests, you can apply DHCP filters to determine the following:

- The class statements
- The address ranges from which it assigns leases
- When to grant or deny leases to the matching clients
- Which DHCP options to return to the matching clients

You can apply IPv4 or IPv6 logic filters at the Grid DHCP or Member DHCP. You can choose to keep the inherited properties or override them when you edit the IPv4 <span style="color: #000000">/ IPv6</span> networks, IPv4 <span style="color: #000000">/ IPv6 </span>network containers, IPv4 <span style="color: #000000">/ IPv6</span> network templates, IPv4 <span style="color: #000000">/ IPv6 </span>shared networks, IPv4 <span style="color: #000000">/ IPv6</span> DHCP ranges, IPv4 <span style="color: #000000">/ IPv6</span> DHCP range templates, IPv4 <span style="color: #000000">/ IPv6</span> fixed addresses, IPv4 <span style="color: #000000">/ IPv6</span> reservations, IPv4 <span style="color: #000000">/ IPv6</span> fixed address templates, IPv4 <span style="color: #000000">/ IPv6</span> reservation templates, or IPv4 <span style="color: #000000">/ IPv6</span> host addresses.
