Create a development IPv4 pool
Follow the steps in this section to create a development pool within your Regional pool.
If you need only a top-level and Regional pool, and don't need development pools, skip to
Allocate CIDRs.
The following example shows the hierarchy of the pool structure that you can create with
the instructions in this guide. At this step, you are creating a development IPAM
pool:
In the preceding example, the CIDRs that are used are examples only. They illustrate that
each pool within the top-level pool is provisioned with a portion of the top-level
CIDR.
- Amazon Management Console
-
To create a development pool within a Regional pool
Open the IPAM console at
https://console.amazonaws.cn/ipam/.
-
In the navigation pane, choose Pools.
-
Choose Create pool.
-
Under IPAM scope, choose the
same scope that you used when you created the top-level and Regional pools.
For more information about scopes, see How IPAM works.
-
(Optional) Add a Name tag for the pool and a description for the pool.
-
Under Source, choose IPAM pool. Then choose the Regional
pool.
-
Under Resource planning, leave Plan IP
space within the scope selected. For more information
about using this option to plan for subnet IP space within a VPC, see
Tutorial: Plan VPC IP address space for subnet IP allocations.
-
(Optional) Choose a CIDR to provision for the pool. You can only provision a CIDR
that was provisioned to the top-level pool. You can create a pool
without a CIDR, but you won’t be able to use the pool for allocations
until you’ve provisioned a CIDR for it. You can add CIDRs to a pool at
any time by editing the pool.
-
You have the same allocation rule options here as you did when you
created the top-level and Regional pool. See Create a top-level IPv4 pool for an
explanation of the options that are available when you create pools. The
allocation rules for the pool are not inherited from the pool above it
in the hierarchy. If you do not apply any rules here, no allocation
rules will be set for the pool.
(Optional) Choose Tags for the pool.
-
When you’ve finished configuring your pool, choose Create
pool.
-
See Allocate CIDRs.
- Command line

The commands in this section link to the Amazon CLI Reference documentation. The
documentation provides detailed descriptions of the options that you can use
when you run the commands.
Use the following Amazon CLI commands to create a Regional pool in your IPAM:
Repeat these steps to create additional development pools within the Regional pool, as
needed.
