Description: An entry describes an single IP address pool.

A peer SNMP entity may create an IP address pool by setting an instance of ciapPoolStatus to 'createAndWait' or 'createAndGo'. Observe that an implementation that does not support these options must specify these limitations in an agent capabilities statement.

Other management entities (e.g., the local console) may perform actions resulting in the creation of an IP address pool. In these cases, the IP address pool manager must automatically create a row in the ciapPoolTable.

A peer SNMP entity may destroy an IP address pool by setting the corresponding instance of ciapPoolStatus to 'destroy'. Observe that an implementation that does not support this option must specify this limitation in an agent capabilities statement.

Other management entities may perform actions resulting in the destruction of an IP address pool. In these cases, the IP address pool manager must automatically destroy the corresponding row in the ciapPoolTable.
