The IP range defines the start and end of an address range. The start of the range
must be lower than the end of the range. The start and end of the range must be on
the same subnet as the IP address of the interface to which you are adding the IP
pool.

Some network configurations do not operate correctly if a NAT policy translates the
source port of packets used by the connection. NAT translates source ports to keep
track of connections for a particular service. You can select fixed port for NAT policies
to prevent source port translation. However, selecting fixed port means that only one
connection can be supported through the firewall for this service. To be able to
support multiple connections, you can add an IP pool to the destination interface, and
then select dynamic IP pool in the policy. The firewall randomly selects an IP address
from the IP pool and assigns it to each connection. In this case the number of
connections that the firewall can support is limited by the number of IP addresses in
the IP pool.
Select the interface to which to add an IP pool.
Enter a name for the IP pool.
