IP Pool

An IP Pool provides ranges of IPv4 or IPv6 addresses that Intersight allocates to server management interfaces, iSCSI initiators, or other consumers. Addresses are drawn from the pool sequentially and released back when the profile is unassigned.

Examples

Example-1: The example below demonstrates an IPv4 management pool with a gateway, DNS servers, and a block of 100 addresses.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrganization
        pools:
          ip:
            - name: ip-pool-mgmt
              description: Management network IP pool
              ipv4_config:
                gateway: 10.0.0.1
                netmask: 255.255.255.0
                primary_dns: 8.8.8.8
                secondary_dns: 8.8.4.4
              ipv4_blocks:
                - from: 10.0.0.100
                  size: 100
              tags:
                - key: env
                  value: prod

Example-2: The example below demonstrates a dual-stack pool providing both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, suitable for iSCSI boot environments that require both address families.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrganization
        pools:
          ip:
            - name: ip-pool-dual-stack

              ipv4_config:
                gateway: 192.168.1.1
                netmask: 255.255.255.0
                primary_dns: 192.168.1.10
              ipv4_blocks:
                - from: 192.168.1.50
                  size: 50
              ipv6_config:
                gateway: "2001:db8::1"
                prefix: 64
                primary_dns: "2001:4860:4860::8888"
              ipv6_blocks:
                - from: "2001:db8::100"
                  size: 100
