An IP pool is a sequential range of IP addresses within certain network. IP pool's range cannot intersect one another, thus one IP address belongs to one and only one IP pool.
Each IP Pool can have Exclusions specified: single IP address or series of IP addresses. The range of Exclusion should be within the range of corresponding IP pool. Creation of Exclusion allows HSP to impose restrictions within IP Pool range. Exclusion cannot intersect one another.
The total number of IP addresses should be equal to or greater than the number of Containers your Parallels Business Automation - Standard system is intended to run.
To create a new IP Pool:
You can allow using the IP addresses from the new IP pool for particular types of hosting. To this effect, set the option button in the Allocation type section of the form to one of the hosting types.
