<span style="color: #000000">After you create IPv4 subnets, you can create address ranges and fixed addresses. A subnet is a parent network for address ranges and fixed addresses with which it is associated. You must assign an IP space when you configure an IPv4 subnet. A subnet inherits the address properties of the parent network. The exceptions are the default router and broadcast address configuration.</span> Once you create a subnet, you can make copies of it. For more information, see *[Copying Subnets](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneDDI/pages/186747048)*.

<span style="color: #000000">To view the list of subnets, complete the following:</span>

1. <span style="color: #000000">From the Infoblox Portal, click </span><span style="color: #000000">**Configure > Networking > IPAM > Address Spaces. **</span>
2. <span style="color: #000000">Click </span><span style="color: #000000">**IP Space **</span><span style="color: #000000">> </span><span style="color: #000000">**Address Block**</span><span style="color: #000000">. It displays the list of subnets that are associated with it. </span>
3. <span style="color: #000000">The application displays the following information:</span>

- <span style="color: #000000">**ADDRESS**</span><span style="color: #000000">: The IP address and netmask of the subnet.</span>

- <span style="color: #000000">**DESCRIPTION**</span><span style="color: #000000">: Additional information about the subnet.</span>
- <span style="color: #000000">**UTILIZATION**</span><span style="color: #000000">: The percentage of the total IPv4 DHCP utilization of the subnet.</span>
  - <span style="color: #000000">**Red**</span><span style="color: #000000">: The DHCP resources are 76%-100% utilized.</span>
  - <span style="color: #000000">**Orange**</span><span style="color: #000000">: The utilization percentage is between 51%-75%. </span>
  - <span style="color: #000000">**Green**</span><span style="color: #000000">: The utilization percentage is between 0%-50%.</span>

<span style="color: #000000">You can also use the </span><span style="color: #000000">**IPAM View**</span><span style="color: #000000"> slider at the top of the navigation bar to toggle between the IPAM view and the DHCP view to view different information about the subnet. </span>

<span style="color: #000000">To view DHCP information about the subnet, complete the following:</span>

1. <span style="color: #000000">From the Infoblox Portal, click </span><span style="color: #000000">**Configure > Networking > IPAM > Address Spaces**</span><span style="color: #000000">.</span>
