   To add values to the pool, type an IP address or range, and then click Save. To remove values from the pool, select a value from the pool, and then click Delete.

   You can type each IP address separately, or you can provide an IP address range in the form 10.1.1.4-10.1.1.10.

8. Verify that the static IP address pool contains enough addresses to add the virtual network.
