Virtual Network IP Pools

Define pools of IPs that are used for automatically assigning virtual management addresses to nodes

  less than a minute  

Virtual Network IP Pools are used for automatically assigning virtual management to nodes. This is optional but makes configuration and management easier.

Address Assignment

Addresses are assigned sequentially from the pool by Trustgrid. When a node is attached to a virtual network with an IP pool configured, it will automatically be assigned the next available IP from the pool. When a node is detached its IP is returned to the pool for reuse. However, the released addresses are not used until all addresses in the pool have cycled through once.

Adding Pools

You can add one or more virtual pool ranges to a virtual network. It is recommended to size the initial pool to a realistic estimate of your expected nodes plus some overhead. Additional ranges can be added later if needed.
