othe Reserved state is used for an address or IP Subnet that is reserved for a specific purpose. The end date for the reservation should be entered into the Expiry date field. The status of the reservation must be changeable during the reservation period. After the reservation period expiry date the address(es) are treated as if they are available.

oThe Quarantine state is used primarily for public address space addresses to block an address or range of addresses after use for a mandatory period. The quarantined addresses are treated as available after the expiry date, but in practise the addresses in Quarantine can not be reassigned during the quarantine period.

Standard attributes tab functionality

 

Create Child Subnet

To define the structuring of an IP Subnet use the function “Create Child Subnet”. This function is launched from any IP Subnet (whether or not it is itself a child of another subnet). It is available as a context menu action of a subnet, as an action button in the IP Subnets pool view, and in the action menu of an IP Subnet’s detail view.

When launched:

 

67A182~1_img18

Fields:

•Address: an address to be contained in the new subnet. It can be anywhere within the selected range;

•Subnet: defines the size of the subnet;

•Name: User definable name for the Ip subnet: By default, when creating a child subnet, the name automatically populates as the name of the parent, the subnet size, “_”, and a sequence number. The name field can be manually edited.

•Range: starting address of the resulting range;

•To: highest address of the range;

•Parent subnet: IP Subnet of the parent

 

NOTES:

When a child subnet is created, it automatically inherits the IP Pool assignment(s) of the parent, and the status and assignment values of the parent.

When the status, service/company assignments and/or IP Pool assignments of the parent are changed, the assignments of the children are also changed.
