Create IP Pool

INFO

To learn about IPAM, IP Pools and allocations, see Subnet Addressing.

An IP Pool hands out addresses from a CIDR. It is used by Subnets with mode IPAM.

Create an IP Pool

1. Navigate to Networking → tab IP Pools → Create IP Pool.
2. Configure the properties:

Property	Description	Required
Name	Unique within the Organization	Yes
CIDR	The network to hand out addresses from. Cannot be changed later	Yes
Description	What this IP Pool is for. Only shown to you	No

3. Add at least one range:

Property	Description	Required
Kind	Allocatable or Excluded	Yes
From	The first address the range covers	Yes
To	The last address the range covers	Yes
Description	Only shown to you	No

4. Click Create.

TIP

Addresses are handed out from Allocatable ranges only. Add an Excluded range to prevent handing out certain ranges or hosts.
