Description

The Add-IpamRange cmdlet adds an IP address range to the configuration of an IP Address Management (IPAM) server. Use this cmdlet to add a Non-Virtualized, Provider, or a Customer IP address range in IPAM. If the network type is Provider or NonVirtualized, the range will be added to default address space if you do not specify an address space. If the network type is Customer, you must specify an address space.

Examples

Example 1: Add an IP address range

PS C:\> Add-IpamRange -NetworkId "10.13.0.0/16" -PassThru
Overlapping      : False

NetworkID        : 10.13.0.0/16

StartAddress     : 10.13.0.1

EndAddress       : 10.13.255.254

ManagedByService : IPAM

ServiceInstance  : Localhost

NetworkType      : NonVirtualized

Owner            :

This command adds an IP address range that is managed by the current instance of IPAM server. This range is added to the default address space.

The command includes the PassThru parameter, so it displays results to the console.

Example 2: Add an IP address range by using a network ID

PS C:\> Add-IpamRange -NetworkId "172.16.10.0/24"
Add-IpamRange : No subnet exists corresponding to the range.

At line:1 char:1

+ Add-IpamRange -NetworkId 172.16.10.0/24

+ CategoryInfo          : ResourceUnavailable: (MSFT_IPAM_Range:ROOT/microsoft/ipam/MSFT_IPAM_Range) [Add-IpamRang

e], CimException

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : WIN32 8,Add-IpamRange

This command adds an IP address range with network id 172.16.10.0/24. IPAM does not allow creation of a range for which a corresponding subnet does not exist.

Example 3: Add an IP address range by using a network ID and create a subnet

PS C:\> Add-IpamRange -NetworkId "172.16.10.0/24" -CreateSubnetIfNotFound -WinsServer "10.10.1.1","10.10.1.2" -Gateway "10.10.5.1/Automatic","10.10.5.2/4"|Format-List Overlapping, NetworkID, StartAddress, EndAddress, ManagedByService, ServiceInstance, WinsServers, Gateway
Overlapping      : False

NetworkID        : 172.16.10.0/24

StartAddress     : 172.16.10.1

EndAddress       : 172.16.10.254

ManagedByService : IPAM

ServiceInstance  : Localhost

WinsServers      : {10.10.1.1, 10.10.1.2}

Gateway          : {10.10.5.1/Automatic, 10.10.5.2/4}

This command adds an IP address range with network id 172.16.10.0/24. The command uses the CreateSubnetIfNotFound parameter to automatically create the corresponding subnet, and adds WINS and Gateway servers to the range. Gateway servers are specified in the format <IP Address>/<Metric>.

Example 4: Add a provider IP address range to an existing IPAM configuration

PS C:\> Add-IpamRange -NetworkId 172.16.19.0/24 -StartIPAddress 172.16.19.10 -EndIPAddress 172.16.19.110 -NetworkType Provider -CreateSubnetIfNotFound -PassThru
Overlapping      : False

NetworkID        : 172.16.19.0/24

StartAddress     : 172.16.19.10

EndAddress       : 172.16.19.110

ManagedByService : IPAM

ServiceInstance  : Localhost

NetworkType      : Provider

Owner            :

This command adds a provider IP address range that is managed by current instance of IPAM. The range will be added to default address space.

The command includes the PassThru parameter, so it displays results to the console.

Example 5: Add a range of provider IP addresses

PS C:\> Add-IpamRange -NetworkId 172.16.19.0/24 -StartIPAddress 172.16.19.10 -EndIPAddress 172.16.19.110 -NetworkType Provider -AddressSpace ContosoDataCenter -PassThru -CreateSubnetIfNotFound
Overlapping      : False

NetworkID        : 172.16.19.0/24

StartAddress     : 172.16.19.10

EndAddress       : 172.16.19.110

ManagedByService : IPAM

ServiceInstance  : Localhost

NetworkType      : Provider

Owner            :

This command adds a provider IP range 172.16.19.0/24 with start and end IP addresses 172.16.19.10 and 172.16.19.110. The command adds the range to a provider address space named ContosoDataCenter. Since this range is in a different address space, IPAM will not mark it as overlapping.

The command includes the PassThru parameter, so it displays results to the console.
