Notes about adding members to a Pool:
1) You can add individual IP addresses or entire subnets to Bandwidth Pools.
2) IP addresses within a Bandwidth Pool need not be contiguous. You can add members to
a Bandwidth Pool in any order.
3) Bandwidth Pools cannot overlap with Hard Limits by IP. Once an IP address is in a
Bandwidth Pool it may not also exist as an individual Hard Limit. You will get an error if
you try to add an IP addresses to a Bandwidth Pool that already exists as a Hard Limit.
4) If you create a Priority Traffic rule for an IP address, and the IP address exists within a
Bandwidth Pool, it will receive priority over other IP addresses within the pool.
5) An IP address can only exist in one Pool at a time.
