**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::
