IMPORTANT

Quick Deployments must be enabled in Bluecat for HPE Morpheus Enterprise to create instantly available DNS records when using Bluecat DNS.

## Adding IP Pools to Networks

### About this task

HPE Morpheus Enterprise can automatically assign the next available Bluecat IP in an IP/Network Pool and create the corresponding DNS records, as well as remove the records upon teardown. To enable this, add an Bluecat IP/Network Pool to the Network Pool section on a Network(s).

### Procedure

1. Navigate to `Infrastructure - Network- Networks`
2. Select a Network name and EDIT, or select ACTIONS - Edit
3. In the NETWORK POOL section, search for and select the name of the IP/Network Pool. 

   - Gateway, DNS and CIDR must be populated for static/pool IP assignment
   - Select Allow IP Override to allow selecting between DHCP, Static entry and Pool Selection at provision time
   - Deselect DHCP server if a DHCP server will not be used on the network (only static and/or IP Pool IP assignment)
4. Select SAVE CHANGES
