Address Pool Service Commands
Use the pool ipv4 command to enter IPv4 pool configuration submode and pool ipv6 command to enter IPv6
pool configuration submode.
The prefix-length command must be configured whenever the network command is used. The prefix-length
must be configured to 128 to signify singleton addresses and a smaller value to signify IPv6 prefixes. The
number of addresses or prefixes that can be allocated by DAPS can become huge when this command is used.
The prefix-length command should be configured to a number that limits the number of addresses or prefixes
for each pool to 64K.
The prefix is written as the first address of a network, followed by a slash character (/) , and ends with the
bit-length of the prefix. For example, 192.168.1.0/24 is the prefix of the IPv4 network starting at the given
address, having 24 bits allocated for the network prefix, and the remaining 8 bits reserved for host addressing.
The IPv6 address specification 2001:db8::/32 is a large network with 2
prefix. In IPv4 the routing prefix is also specified in the form of the subnet mask, which is expressed in
quad-dotted decimal representation like an address. For example, 255.255.255.0 is the network mask for the
192.168.1.0/24 prefix.
The default-router option is supported only for IPv4 pools. The configured default-gateway address is
automatically excluded from allocation to clients, if the address is within the subnet range.

Examples
This is an example of configuring the network command for IPv4:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# pool vrf vrf1 ipv4 pool2
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-pool-ipv4)# network 11.11.11.0/24 default-router 11.11.11.11
This is an example of configuring the network command for IPv6:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# configure
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# pool vrf vrf1 ipv6 pool3
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-pool-ipv6)# network 10:1:1::/50
