When it is prefixed with 'tag:' instead, then its meaning changes from setting a tag to matching it. Only one tag may be set, but more than one tag may be matched.

So it should be

     dhcp-range=tag:em1,10.0.0.10,10.0.0.254,12h
     dhcp-range=tag:em2,10.0.1.10,10.0.1.254,12h

Or is it

     dhcp-range=set:em1,10.0.0.10,10.0.0.254,12h
     dhcp-range=set:em2,10.0.1.10,10.0.1.254,12h

? If I omit the "tag:" and "set:", which one is it?
