An IP address pool is a collection of IP addresses that, through an IP subnet, is associated with
a network site. VMM can assign IP addresses from the static IP address pool to virtual ma-
chines running Windows operating systems if those virtual machines use the logical network
associated with the pool. Static IP address pools can contain default gateway, DNS server, and
WINS server information. Static IP address pools aren't necessary as VMs can be assigned IP
address information from DHCP servers running on the network.
To create a static IP address pool, perform the following steps.
1.
In the Fabric workspace of the VMM console, click Create IP Pool on the console rib-
bon.
On the Name page of the Create Static IP Address Pool Wizard, provide a name for the
IP address pool and specify the logical network with which the pool will be associated.
Figure 3-18 shows the IP address pool named Adatum IP Address Pool Alpha associ-
ated with the logical network Adatum Logical Network.
