Allocate
DescriptionAllocate floating IP addresses or IP Prefix blocks from an IP Space. This results in reserving the IP address or IP Prefix block for the specified organization. The organization can then use the IP address for network services such as NAT or use the IP Prefix as the network CIDR definition during Org VDC network creation. An IP Space IP allocation request can either request a specific IP address or IP prefix, or a request can allocate a given number of any free IP Addresses or IP Prefixes within an IP Space. These two types of requests cannot be combined to request both a specific IP Address/Prefix or any number of IP Addresses/Prefixes simultaneously. Please either request a specific value or request a variable number of IP Addresses/Prefixes with different POST requests.
