IP Overlapping Address Pools
First Published: May 2, 2005
Last Updated: May 4, 2009
The IP Overlapping Address Pools feature improves flexibility in assigning IP addresses dynamically. This feature allows you to configure overlapping IP address pool groups to create different address spaces and concurrently use the same IP addresses in different address spaces.
Finding Feature Information
For the latest feature information and caveats, see the release notes for your platform and software release. To find information about the features documented in this module, and to see a list of the releases in which each feature is supported, see the "Feature Information for Configuring IP Overlapping Address Pools" section.

Restrictions for IP Overlapping Address Pools
The Cisco IOS XE software checks for duplicate addresses on a per-group basis. The check for duplicate addresses means that you can configure pools in multiple groups that could have possible duplicate addresses. The IP Overlapping Address Pools feature should be used only in cases where overlapping IP address pools make sense, such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Virtual Private Network (VPN) environments where multiple IP address spaces are supported.
Information About IP Overlapping Address Pools
To configure the IP Overlapping Address Pools feature, you should understand the following concepts:

How IP Address Groups Work
Benefits
The IP Overlapping Address Pools gives greater flexibility in assigning IP addresses dynamically. It allows you to configure overlapping IP address pool groups to create different address spaces and concurrently use the same IP addresses in different address spaces.
How IP Address Groups Work
Existing configurations are not affected by the new pool feature. The "group" concept is an extension of the existing ip local pool command. Processing of pools that are not specified as a member of a group is unchanged from the existing implementation.
How to Configure IP Overlapping Address Pools
This section contains the following procedure:
•
Configuring and Verifying a Local Pool Group
Configuring and Verifying a Local Pool Group
Perform this task to configure a local pool group and verify that it exists.
SUMMARY STEPS
1.
enable
2.
configure terminal
3.
ip local pool {default | poolname} {low-ip-address [high-ip-address] [group group-name] [cache-size size]}
4.
show ip local pool [poolname | [group group-name]]
DETAILED STEPS
| |
Command or Action
|
Purpose
|
Step 1
|
enable
Example:
Router> enable
|
Enables privileged EXEC mode.
• Enter your password if prompted.
|
Step 2
|
configure terminal
Example:
Router# configure terminal
|
Enters global configuration mode.
|
Step 3
|
ip local pool {default | poolname}
{low-ip-address [high-ip-address] [group
group-name] [cache-size size]}
Example:
Router(config)# ip local pool testpool 10.2.2.1
10.2.2.10 group testgroup cache-size 10000
|
Configures a group of local IP address pools, gives this group a name, and specifies a cache size.
|
Step 4
|
show ip local pool [poolname | [group
group-name]]
Example:
Router(config)# show ip local pool group
testgroup testpool
|
Displays statistics for any defined IP address pools.
|
Configuration Examples for Configuring IP Overlapping Address Pools
This section provides the following configuration examples:
•
Define Local Address Pooling as the Global Default Mechanism Example
•
Configure Multiple Ranges of IP Addresses into One Pool Example
Define Local Address Pooling as the Global Default Mechanism Example
The following example shows how to configure local pooling as the global default mechanism:
ip local pool default 192.168.15.15 192.168.15.16
Configure Multiple Ranges of IP Addresses into One Pool Example
The following example shows how to configure two ranges of IP addresses for one IP address pool:
ip local pool default 192.169.10.10 192.169.10.20
ip local pool default 192.168.50.25 192.168.50.50

Glossary
IPCP—IP Control Protocol. Protocol that establishes and configures IP over PPP.
MPLS—Multiprotocol Label Switching. Switching method that forwards IP traffic using a label. This label instructs the routers and the switches in the network where to forward the packets based on preestablished IP routing information.
NAT—Network Address Translation. Mechanism for reducing the need for globally unique IP addresses. NAT allows an organization with addresses that are not globally unique to connect to the Internet by translating those addresses into globally routable address space. Also known as Network Address Translator.
VPDN—virtual private dialup network. Also known as virtual private dial network. A VPDN is a network that extends remote access to a private network using a shared infrastructure. VPDNs use Layer 2 tunnel technologies (L2F, L2TP, and PPTP) to extend the Layer 2 and higher parts of the network connection from a remote user across an ISP network to a private network. VPDNs are a cost-effective method of establishing a long distance, point-to-point connection between remote dial users and a private network. See also VPN.
VPN—Virtual Private Network. Enables IP traffic to travel securely over a public TCP/IP network by encrypting all traffic from one network to another. A VPN uses "tunneling" to encrypt all information at the IP level.
VRF—A VPN routing and forwarding instance. A VRF consists of an IP routing table, a derived forwarding table, a set of interfaces that use the forwarding table, and a set of rules and routing protocols that determine what goes into the forwarding table. In general, a VRF includes the routing information that defines a customer VPN site that is attached to a PE router.
