pool.

IP Pools for firewall policies that use fixed ports
Some network configurations do not operate correctly if a NAT policy translates the
source port of packets used by the connection. NAT translates source ports to keep
track of connections for a particular service. You can select fixed port for NAT policies
to prevent source port translation. However, selecting fixed port means that only one
connection can be supported through the firewall for this service. To be able to
support multiple connections, you can add an IP pool to the destination interface, and
then select dynamic IP pool in the policy. The firewall randomly selects an IP address
from the IP pool and assigns it to each connection. In this case the number of
connections that the firewall can support is limited by the number of IP addresses in
the IP pool.
Interface Select the interface to which to add an IP pool.
Name Enter a name for the IP pool.
IP Range/Subnet Enter the IP address range for the IP pool.
