IP pool list

FortiGate-500A Administration Guide
An IP pool (also called a dynamic IP pool) is a range of IP addresses added to a
firewall interface. You can enable Dynamic IP Pool in a firewall policy to translate the
source address of outgoing packets to an address randomly selected from the IP pool.
An IP pool list appears when the policy destination interface is the same as the IP pool
interface.
You can add an IP pool if you want to add NAT mode policies that translate source
addresses to addresses randomly selected from the IP pool rather than being limited
to the IP address of the destination interface.
If you add an IP pool to port1, you can select Dynamic IP pool for policies with the
port1 interface as the destination. For example, you can add IP pools to port2->port1
and port3->port1 policies.
You can add multiple IP pools to any interface and select the IP pool to use when
configuring a firewall policy.
You can enter an IP address range using the following formats.
• x.x.x.x-x.x.x.x, for example 192.168.110.100-192.168.110.120
• x.x.x.[x-x], for example 192.168.110.[100-120]
