6 (Optional) Select a status type from the IP status drop-down menu to filter IP address entries to only
those that match the selected IP status. Status settings are allocated, unallocated, destroyed, and
expired.
For IP addresses that are in an expired or destroyed state, you can click Reclaim to make those IP
address ranges available for allocation. You must save the profile for the reclamation to take effect.
Addresses are not reclaimed immediately, so the status column does not immediately change from
Expired or Destroyed to Allocated.

Create a NAT Network Profile By Using a Third-Party IPAM Endpoint
You can create an on-demand NSX NAT network profile relative to an external network profile. When
using an NSX NAT network profile with a third-party IPAM endpoint, IP space is created and managed by
the third-party IPAM provider.
When you use a third-party IPAM endpoint in your NAT network profile, the provider creates new IP
ranges for each instance of the on-demand network. An internal set of IP addresses defined with one or
more ranges is created in the third-party IPAM provider endpoint for every instance of the NAT network.
These IP ranges are used to allocate IP addresses for machines assigned to the NAT network in the
same deployment. Because there cannot be duplicate IP addresses defined within a single address
space, a new address space is created by the provider for each instance of NAT network. When a NAT
network is destroyed, its ranges are destroyed in the IPAM provider endpoint and in the new address
space.
You can use IP ranges obtained from the supplied VMware IPAM endpoint or from a third-party IPAM
service provider endpoint that you have registered and configured in vRealize Orchestrator, such as
Infoblox IPAM. An IP range is created from an IP block during allocation.
For a NAT one-to-many network, you can define NAT rules that can be configured when you add a NAT
network component to the blueprint and can be changed when you edit the NAT network in a deployment.
Procedure
1 Specify NAT Network Profile Information with a Third-Party IPAM Endpoint
The network profile information identifies the NAT network properties, its underlying external network
profile, and other values used in provisioning the network when using a third-party IPAM endpoint.
2 Configure NAT Network Profile IP Ranges with a Third-Party IPAM Endpoint
You can define one or more IP address ranges for use in provisioning a network by using NAT.
Specify NAT Network Profile Information with a Third-Party IPAM Endpoint
The network profile information identifies the NAT network properties, its underlying external network
profile, and other values used in provisioning the network when using a third-party IPAM endpoint.
