Address Pools
The IP Pool area shows each configured address pool by name, and with their IP address range, for
example: 10.10.147.100 to 10.10.147.177. If no pools exist, the area is empty. The adaptive security
appliance uses these pools in the order listed: if all addresses in the first pool have been assigned, it uses
the next pool, and so on.
If you assign addresses from a non-local subnet, we suggest that you add pools that fall on subnet
boundaries to make adding routes for these networks easier.
Fields
• Pool Name—Displays the name of each configured address pool.
• Starting Address—Shows first IP address available in each configured pool.

• Subnet Mask—Shows the subnet mask for addresses in each configured pool.
• Add—Click to add a new address pool.
