An alias is an alternate name for an existing local address pool. It comprises an alias name and a pool name.
When the AAA server requests an IP address from a specific local address pool, the local address server first verifies whether an alias exists for the requested pool. If an alias exists, the IP address is allocated from the pool specified by the alias. If no alias exists, the IP address is allocated from the pool originally specified in the request.
The use of aliases simplifies management of subscribers. For example, you can use an alias to migrate subscribers from one local address pool to another. Instead of having to modify countless subscriber records on the AAA server, you create an alias to make the configuration change.
