You can add IP addresses when initially creating a subnet, or you can add IP addresses to a subnet that already exists. You can also remove IP addresses from an existing subnet. This enables you to allocate only the required IP addresses for SVMs.

The procedure you follow depends on the interface that you use—​System Manager or the CLI:

System Manager

Beginning with ONTAP 9.12.0, you can use System Manager to add or remove IP addresses to or from a subnet

Steps

  1. Select Network > Overview > Subnets.

  2. Select Menu options icon > Edit beside the subnet you want to change.

  3. Add or remove IP addresses.

  4. Save your changes.

    1. If the IP address or range entered is already used by an interface, the following message is displayed:
      An IP address in this range is already in use by a LIF. Associate the LIF with this subnet?

    2. When you click OK, the existing LIF will be associated with the subnet.
