Tunnel Pools

The following procedure describes how to use tunnel pools to create a pool of IP addresses used by the managed device to create a GRE Generic Routing Encapsulation. GRE is an IP encapsulation protocol that is used to transport packets over a network. tunnel to the Mobility Conductor. Each managed device uses a single IP address from this pool.

1. In the Managed Network node hierarchy, navigate to the Configuration > Interfaces > Pool Management.
2. Expand the Tunnel Pools accordion.
3. Click + below the Tunnel Pools table to create a new VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. In computer networking, a single Layer 2 network may be partitioned to create multiple distinct broadcast domains, which are mutually isolated so that packets can only pass between them through one or more routers; such a domain is referred to as a Virtual Local Area Network, Virtual LAN, or VLAN. pool. Configure the following parameters:
   • Pool name—Enter a name to the new pool.
   • Start IP address—Enter the IP address at the start of the range of addresses.
   • End IP address—Enter the IP address at the end of the range of addresses.
4. Click Submit.
5. Click Pending Changes.
6. In the Pending Changes window, select the check-box and click Deploy Changes.

The following procedure describes how to associate a tunnel pool to a GRE Generic Routing Encapsulation. GRE is an IP encapsulation protocol that is used to transport packets over a network. tunnel:

1. In the Managed Network node hierarchy, navigate to Configuration > Interfaces > GRE Tunnels.
2. Select an entry in the GRE Tunnel table to associate a tunnel pool to that GRE Generic Routing Encapsulation. GRE is an IP encapsulation protocol that is used to transport packets over a network. tunnel.
3. In the IPv4 address type field, select the Dynamic option.
4. Click the Dynamic IP address pool drop-down list and select a tunnel pool.
5. Click Submit.
