Allocate or Release an IP Address from a Ip Subnet (Deprecated)

Allocates or releases an IP address from the specified IP subnet. To allocate
an address, include ?action=ALLOCATE in the request and a "{}"
in the request body. When the request is successful, the response is
"allocation_id": "<ip-address>", where <ip-address> is an IP address from
the specified pool. To release an IP address (return it back to the pool),
include ?action=RELEASE in the request and "allocation_id":<ip-address> in
the request body, where <ip-address> is the address to be released. When the
request is successful, the response is NULL.
