Manage IP Address Pools Using the CLI

You can create and manage address pools using the CLI:

To make interface changes, you must lock the worker node first.

Creating an address pool

To create an address pool, use a command of the following form:

~(keystone_admin)]$ system addrpool-add <name> <network> <prefix> [-- order <assign_order>] [--ranges <addr_ranges>]

where:

<name>: is a name used to select the pool during data interface setup
<network>: is the subnet and mask for the range (for example, 192.168.1.0)
<prefix>: is the subnet mask, expressed in network prefix length notation (for example, 24)
<assign_order>: is the order in which to assign addresses from the pool (random or sequential). The default is random.
<addr_ranges>: is a set of IP address ranges to use for assignment, where the start and end IP address of each range is separated by a dash, and the ranges are separated by commas (for example, 192.168.1.10-192.168.1.20, 192.168.1.35-192.168.1.45). If no range is specified, the full range is used.

To list existing address pools, use a command of the following form:

~(keystone_admin)]$ system addrpool-show <uuid>

where <uuid> is the universally unique identifier for the pool.

To modify an address pool, use a command of the following form:

~(keystone_admin)]$ system addrpool-modify <uuid> [--name <name>] [-- order <assign_order>] [--ranges <addr_ranges>]

To delete an address pool, use a command of the following form:

~(keystone_admin)]$ system addrpool-delete <uuid>
