A pool is a range of IP addresses for allocating IP addresses to the servers.
The system checks available and allocated IP addresses in every pool. To do so, it uses a local base of IP addresses or IPmanager.
IPmanager is a control panel for IP addresses provisioning. It is also designed as a centralized base of IP addresses. It allows a user to:
- remove the possibility of using one IP address two times;
- set up and configure a name server to manage the PRT records.
To use IPmanager, integrate it with DCImanager. Learn more in
If integration is not configured, you have to manage IP addresses in Settings → IP address.
