8.5 Address pool
The Address pool form displays the starting and ending addresses of ranges of IPv4 addresses
that are used to automatically map an IPv6 address in an IPv6 packet received from the network
side to an IPv4 address so that the IPv6 packet can be translated to IPv4 and forwarded to the
IPv4 legacy host.
The address pool may be configured in any way that does not conflict with the IPv4 addressing
on the network side. The best approach is to choose an address pool that is in the same
subnetwork as the one containing the host IP and the host-side Transformer IP addresses. This
should be in one of the private subnetwork ranges and should not appear in the address space
reachable on the network side.
The IPv4 Address Pool Screen is displayed in Figure 14. IPv4 Address Pool Screen
