IP pool

An IP pool (also called a dynamic IP pool) is a range of IP addresses added to a firewall interface. You can enable Dynamic IP Pool in a firewall policy to translate the source address of outgoing packets to an address randomly selected from the IP pool. An IP pool list appears when the policy destination interface is the same as the IP pool interface.

You can add an IP pool if you want to add NAT mode policies that translate source addresses to addresses randomly selected from the IP pool rather than being limited to the IP address of the destination interface.

For example, if you add an IP pool to the internal interface, you can select Dynamic IP pool for WAN1->Internal, WAN2->Internal, DMZ1->Internal, and DMZ2->Internal policies.

You can add multiple IP pools to any interface and select the IP pool to use when configuring a firewall policy.

You can enter an IP address range using the following formats.

x.x.x.x-x.x.x.x, for example 192.168.110.100-192.168.110.120

x.x.x.[x-x], for example 192.168.110.[100-120]
