IPv4 Subnet Identifier
</title>
<para>
Subnet identifier is a unique number associated with a particular subnet.
In principle, it is used to associate clients' leases with respective subnets.
When subnet identifier is not specified for a subnet being configured, it will
be automatically assigned by the configuration mechanism. The identifiers
are assigned from 1 and are monotonically increased for each subsequent
subnet: 1, 2, 3 ....
</para>
<para>
If there are multiple subnets configured with auto-generated identifiers and
one of them is removed, the subnet identifiers may be renumbered. For example:
if there are 4 subnets and 3rd is removed the last subnet will be assigned
identifier that the 3rd subnet had before removal. As a result, the leases
stored in the lease database for subnet 3 are now associated with the
subnet 4, which may have unexpected consequences. In the future it is planned
to implement the mechanism to preserve auto-generated subnet ids upon removal
of one of the subnets. Currently, the only remedy for this issue is to
manually specify the unique subnet identifier for each subnet.

will assign the arbitrary subnet identifier to the newly configured subnet.
This identifier will not change for this subnet until "id" parameter is
removed or set to 0. The value of 0 forces auto-generation of subnet
identifier.
