How do I configure an IP address pool?

Purpose

An IP address pool defines a range of IP addresses that can be applied to specific configurations in NSP programmable functions. The range is defined by an IP mask and an allocation mask.

To support IPv4 subnet repurposing, subnets can be configured with one or more purpose tags.

Steps
 
1 

Open Network Intents.

2 

In the upper right-hand corner of the Network Intents GUI, click png1.png More, Open Resource Management.

The Resource Management GUI opens in a separate browser tab.

3 

Select the IP Pools view from the drop-down list.

4 

Do one of the following:

  • Create a new pool: Click png13.png Add Pool.

  • Modify an existing pool: In the pool list, click png1.png Table Row Actions, Update Pool on a list item.

5 

In the Create | Edit IP Pool form, configure the parameters as required.

6 

Click png13.pngAdd on the IPv4 Networks and Masks list or select a list item and click Table Row Actions, Edit.

  1. Type an IPv4 network/mask length pair in the IPv4 Mask field. Use the format <ip_address>/<bit_length>.

  2. Type a purpose string in the Purpose field and click png13.png Add. The purpose string is added to the network/mask pair. You can specify additional purpose strings to support IPv4 subnet re-purposing.

  3. Click Add | Update.

    You are returned to the Create | Edit IP Pool form.

7 

To assign a threshold policy to the pool, click in the Threshold Policy field and select a policy from the Select Threshold Policy form.
