</Pool>

The XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX format (dot-decimal notation) is used for the IP address, subnet address, and subnet mask.
The AddressSet tag is optional. If it is omitted, a network resource that cannot be assigned an address is created.

Element Name	Description	Remarks (Possible Values, Examples)
Resource pool name	Name of the resource pool to store the network resource	Character string beginning with an alphanumeric character and containing up to 32 alphanumeric characters, underscores ("_"), and hyphens ("-")
Network Resource Name	Name of the network resource	Character string beginning with an alphanumeric character and containing up to 32 alphanumeric characters, underscores ("_"), and hyphens ("-")
Label	Label for the network resource (optional)	Character string of up to 32 alphanumeric characters or symbols
Comment	Comment for the network resource (optional)	Character string of up to 256 alphanumeric characters or symbols
VLAN ID	VLAN ID	An integer between 1 and 4094
LAN switch blade external port number	External port number of a LAN switch blade required to create a network resource for external communications	A positive integer
LAN switch blade name	Name of a LAN switch blade with an external port	-
Address set name	Name of the address set	Character string beginning with an alphanumeric character and containing up to 32 alphanumeric characters, underscores ("_"), periods ("."), and hyphens ("-")
Subnet address	Subnet	Subnet value
Subnet mask	Subnet mask	Subnet mask value The maximum value for a subnet mask is 255.255.255.255 (32bit mask) and the minimum value is 255.255.0.0 (16bit mask). However, 255.255.255.254 cannot be specified.
IP address exclusion range (start, end)	Specify the IP address range (start and end) to exclude from the administration of Resource Orchestrator. Start and end IP addresses are included in the exclusion range. Multiple ranges can be specified.	Specification of start and end IP addresses As the network address and broadcast address are automatically excluded, do not specify them in the IP address range (start and end) to exclude.
Default gateway	Default gateway	IP address
