Use routing to assign an IP subnetwork to a device.

  1. Go to Configure > Network Policies.
  2. Create or select a Network Policy.
  3. Select Switching > Routing > Network Allocation and scroll to the Routing table.

Note

To perform device-level IPv4 Interface Routing configuration, go to Manage > Devices and select the supported device. Select Configure > Network Allocation > Interface Configuration.

At this level we are creating the actual IPv4 interface on the VLAN, which differentiates it from the template-level configuration.

For example, if 10.45.1.161/30 is the host address, the IPV4 interface on the VLAN is created.

If an IPv4 Interface is created from device-level configuration, then a Network Allocation created from a Network Policy is not applicable.

IPv4 Interfaces for devices are still viewable within the Switching > Routing > Network Allocation section.
