Edit and Delete an IPv4 Pool

Overview​

Opening a pool from the list lets you change its details or delete it. The Edit screen has a Config tab and an Audit Timeline tab (the history of changes to the pool).

Who Can Use This Feature​

Network administrators and engineers.

Required Permissions​

  • IPv4 Pool → Update to edit.
  • IPv4 Pool → Delete to delete.

Prerequisites​

Networking → IPv4 Pool → click the pool name.

Edit a pool​

  1. On the IPv4 Pool list, click the Pool Name.
  2. On the Config tab, change the Pool Name, Pool Description, From IP or To IP as needed.
  3. Select Update.

The Edit screen also has an Audit Timeline tab — see Common Features.

Delete a pool​

  1. Open the pool.
  2. Select Delete.
  3. Confirm by entering your password (and an optional remark) when prompted.

⚠ Deleting a pool removes the range. If addresses in it are assigned to subscribers, check the Used addresses list first — removing a pool in use can disrupt those subscribers.

What Happens After Saving​

Edits update the pool immediately (and are recorded in the Audit Timeline). Deleting removes the pool after password confirmation.

Important Notes​

  • Deletion asks for your account password — a safeguard against accidental removal.
  • Shrinking a range (changing From/To) can strand already-assigned addresses that fall outside the new range.

Common Mistakes​

  • Narrowing the range while addresses outside it are still assigned.
  • Deleting a pool that is still in use.
