Add a pool with the 'nipap pool add' command followed by the arguments for creating a pool:
user@host $ nipap pool add name test-linknets \
description "Link networks for my test network" \
default-type assignment \
ipv4_default_prefix_length 30 \
ipv6_default_prefix_length 112
Pool 'test-linknets' created.
user@host $
This allows us to make assignments from this pool automatically.
If you request a prefix from this pool you will get:
- a prefix with the type 'assignment'
- a /30 if you requested an IPv4 prefix
- a /112 if you requested an IPv6 prefix
