Configuring an Address Pool Group

An address pool group is a set of address pools sharing specified attributes. An address pool group simplifies configuration in some situations.

Context

An address pool group can be created if either of the following conditions is met:
  • Multiple domains share some address pools.
  • A RADIUS server is able to deliver address pool names.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run ip pool-group group-name [ bas ]

    An address pool group is created, and the address pool group view is displayed.

  3. (Optional) Run vpn-instance vpn-instance-name

    An address pool group is bound to a VPN instance.

    The address pool group and its address pools must be bound to the same VPN instance.

    The address pool group in a domain and the domain must be bound to the same VPN instance.

  4. (Optional) Run ip-attribute public

    The public network attribute is configured for an IP address pool or an IP address pool group. After the configuration is complete, the IP address pool or the IP address pool group is configured as a public IP address pool or pool group whose usage status is calculated.

    To use the ip-attribute public command, you must also run the ip-pool usage-status threshold command to configure the upper and lower thresholds for public IP address pool usage in a domain, so that the pool usage status to be sent to the RADIUS server can be calculated.

    The ip-attribute public command takes effect only on local address pools.

  5. Run ip-pool pool-name

    An address pool is added to an address pool group.

  6. (Optional) Run quit

    Return to the system view.

  7. (Optional) Run warning-exhaust

    The address exhaustion alarm function is enabled for the address pool group.

    After this command is run, the system generates an address exhaustion alarm when IP addresses in the address pool group are exhausted, prompting the administrator to plan the IP addresses. When IP addresses in the address pool group are exhausted, users cannot go online.

    When IP address usage of the address pool group falls below 90%, the address exhaustion alarm is cleared.

  8. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.

Follow-up Procedure

You can run the ip-pool-group group-name [ move-to new-position ] command in AAA domain view to bind an address pool group to a domain.
