active-charging service service_name > host-pool host_pool_name

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt: 

[local]host_name(config-acs-host-pool)#

Syntax

[ no ] ip { ipv4/ipv6_address | ipv4/ipv6_address/maskbit | range start_ipv4/ipv6_address to end_ipv4/ipv6_address }

no

If added previously, removes the specified IPv4/IPv6 address(es) from the current host pool.

ipv4/ipv6_address

Specifies an IPv4/IPv6 address to add to the current host pool.

ipv4/ipv6_address must be an IPv4/IPv6 address.

ipv4/ipv6_address / maskbit

Specifies an IPv4/IPv6 address/mask bits combination to add to the current host pool.

ipv4/ipv6_address must be an IPv4/IPv6 address.

maskbit must be the number of bits in the subnet mask, and must be a numeric value.

range start_ipv4/ipv6_address to end_ipv4/ipv6_address

Specifies a range of IPv4/IPv6 addresses to add to the current host pool.

start_ipv4/ipv6_address specifies the starting IPv4/IPv6 address of the range, and must be less than end_ipv4/v6_address .

end_ipv4/v6_address specifies the ending IPv4/IPv6 address of the range, and must be greater than start_ipv4/ipv6_address .

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to add an individual or a range of IPv4/IPv6 addresses to a host pool. Up to 20 sets of IPv4/IPv6 addresses can be configured in each host pool.

Example

The following command adds all IPv4 addresses from 10.2.3.4 through 10.4.5.6 to the current host pool: 
ip range 10.2.3.4 to 10.4.5.6
