Configuring Next Hop Forwarding at IP Pool Through IPAM Profile for IPv4 Addresses

At the SMF, use the following CLI command to configure Next hop forwarding at the IP pool through the IPAM profile for IPv4 addresses.

configure 
   ipam
      instance instance_id 
         address-pool pool_name 
            ipv4 
            address-ranges 
               address-range start_ipv4_address end_ipv4_address nexthop-forwarding-address nexthop_forwarding_address 
               prefix-range prefix_value length  prefix_length nexthop-forwarding-address nexthop_forwarding_address 
               split-size per-cache number_of_addresses 
               split-size per-dp number_of_addresses 
               commit 

NOTES:

  • address-pool pool_name : Specify the name of the address pool. pool_name must be a string.

  • ipv4 : Enter the IPv4 mode of the pool.

  • address-ranges : Specify the starting address of the IPv4 address range. Enter the IPv4 address range and prefix range addresses with the next hop forwarding address.

    • address-range start_ipv4_address end_ipv4_address nexthop-forwarding-address nexthop_forwarding_address : Specify the starting and the ending addresses of the IPv4 address range with the next hop forwarding address.

    • prefix-range prefix_value length prefix_length : Specify the prefix value and the length within the IPv4 address.

    • nexthop-forwarding-address nexthop_forwarding_address : Specify the next hop forwarding address.

  • split-size per-cache number_of_addresses : Specify the number of IPv4 addresses per chunk for IPAM cache allocation. Specify in the power of 2. The IPAM server consumes this configuration. number_of_addresses must be an integer in the range of 2-262144.

  • split-size-per-dp number_of_addresses : Specify the number of IPv4 addresses per chunk for data plane allocation. Specify in the power of 2. The IPAM cache consumes this configuration.

    number_of_addresses must be an integer in the range of 2-262144.
