Name: the name of the pod

Gateway: the gateway for the hosts in that pod

Netmask: The netmask that encompasses the subnet in the Pod.

Private IP Range: This is the IP range in the private network that the CloudStack uses to manage Secondary Storage VMs and Console Proxy VMs. These IP addresses are taken from the same subnet as computing servers. You therefore need to make sure computing servers and Management Servers use IP addresses outside of this range. These two values combine to give the system control over a certain IP address range, and leave you in control of allocation for IP addresses in the CIDR but outside of the start and end range.

The recommended number of private IPs per Pod is 5 times the number of Clusters. The example above allocates ten IPs as if two Clusters were in place for the Pod.

Guest IP Range. The range of IP addresses that will be available for allocation to guests in this Pod. For the target of this guide, these IP addresses should be in the same CIDR range as the POD CIDR.

Guest Netmask: The netmask in use on the subnet the guests will use.

Guest Gateway: The gateway that the guests should use.
