Network Allocation

Network Allocation allows the creation of IP subnetwork configuration. A subnetwork with a selected VLAN can be applied to a device within the Routing section.

Note

A VLAN defined within Instant Port Profiles as Non-Forwarding cannot be used to create a subnetwork.

On the Network Allocation page, you can add, edit, or delete Network Allocation configurations. The table includes the following parameters:

Name
Description
IPv4 Subnetwork
Clients Per Subnet
DHCP Relay
VLAN Name
VLAN ID
VLAN Used By

To configure Network Allocation:

Go to Configure > Network Policies.
Create or select a Network Policy.
Select Switching > Routing > Network Allocation.
Select to add or to edit.

Enter the IPv4 Network Allocation Attributes according to the table below:

Table 1. Network Allocation Attributes
Field	Description
VLAN Attribute (Mandatory)	Only VLAN attributes created from VLAN Attributes tab within Switching/Routing section of the same policy can be selected from the drop-down list. Note: The user can create multiple entries for the same VLAN ID within the same policy.
Name (Mandatory)	The name of your subnetwork.
Description (Optional)	A description of your subnetwork.
Local IP Address Space (Mandatory)	Define the local IP address space using CIDR notation, such as `10.1.0.0/16`. This must be a subnet address. The user can create multiple entries for different VLAN IDs with overlapping subnet space within the same policy.
Clients Per Subnet (Read-only)	Shows the number of clients per subnetwork.
Select One	Use the first IP address of the local IP address space for the IPv4 interface Use the last IP address of the local IP address space for the IPv4 interface Note: Use the first/last IP address of the local IP address space as default value when creating an IPv4 interface using this subnetwork.
Enable DHCP Relay	Enables/disables DHCP Relay. If enabled, the user can select, create or edit a DHCP Relay Common Object.

Note

The entries from the Network Allocation table don't generate delta by themselves. They must be used to create entries in Routing table in order to generate delta.
