To clarify : * You can always modify the default setting of CIDR 10.1.1.0/24 when you create a zone. * You can create isolated guest networks with your custom CIDR by specifying the netmask and gateway. This overrides the zone level setting. * In shared Networks the start IP - end IP range will define the range of IPs from which Cloudstack Guest VMs get IPs, so you restrict the guest Vms to get IPs from this defined range. * IP reservation in Isolated Guest networks is a new feature in CloudStack which allows to use a part of the guest network for Cloudstack guest Vms and remaining part (if you wish to do so) for non Cloudstack purposes.
