**To create an IPAM pool** The following ``create-ipam-pool`` example creates an IPAM pool. (Linux):: aws ec2 create-ipam-pool \ --ipam-scope-id ipam-scope-02fc38cd4c48e7d38 \ --address-family ipv4 \ --auto-import \ --allocation-min-netmask-length 16 \ --allocation-max-netmask-length 26 \ --allocation-default-netmask-length 24 \ --allocation-resource-tags "Key=Environment,Value=Preprod" \ --tag-specifications 'ResourceType=ipam-pool,Tags=[{Key=Name,Value="Preprod pool"}]' (Windows):: aws ec2 create-ipam-pool ^ --ipam-scope-id ipam-scope-02fc38cd4c48e7d38 ^ --address-family ipv4 ^ --auto-import ^ --allocation-min-netmask-length 16 ^ --allocation-max-netmask-length 26 ^ --allocation-default-netmask-length 24 ^ --allocation-resource-tags "Key=Environment,Value=Preprod" ^ --tag-specifications ResourceType=ipam-pool,Tags=[{Key=Name,Value="Preprod pool"}] Output:: { "IpamPool": { "OwnerId": "123456789012", "IpamPoolId": "ipam-pool-0533048da7d823723", "IpamPoolArn": "arn:aws:ec2::123456789012:ipam-pool/ipam-pool-0533048da7d823723", "IpamScopeArn": "arn:aws:ec2::123456789012:ipam-scope/ipam-scope-02fc38cd4c48e7d38", "IpamScopeType": "private", "IpamArn": "arn:aws:ec2::123456789012:ipam/ipam-08440e7a3acde3908", "IpamRegion": "us-east-1", "Locale": "None", "PoolDepth": 1, "State": "create-in-progress", "AutoImport": true, "AddressFamily": "ipv4", "AllocationMinNetmaskLength": 16, "AllocationMaxNetmaskLength": 26, "AllocationDefaultNetmaskLength": 24, "AllocationResourceTags": [ { "Key": "Environment", "Value": "Preprod" } ], "Tags": [ { "Key": "Name", "Value": "Preprod pool" } ] } } For more information, see `Plan for IP address provisioning <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/ipam/planning-ipam.html>`__ in the *Amazon VPC IPAM User Guide*.
