Usage IP address pools help automate the management of IP addresses for hosts and virtual machines, including the management IP addresses of the switches in a fabric. Use this command to create a new IP pool.
Examples To create a fabric-wide IP address pool named MyPublicIPv4Pool to automate the allocation of IP addresses within a fabric for the IP address block 208.74.182.0 to 208.74.182.100/32, use the following command:
CLI network-admin@switch > ip-pool-create name MyPublicIPv4Pool start-ip 208.74.182.0 end-ip 208.74.182.100 netmask 255.255.255.0
