The reservations feature is an IMS internal object whereby individual IP numbers can be assigned to a
reservations object.
Once assigned, these IP numbers cannot be assigned to other standard IMS objects like card and ports,
until they are removed from the reservations object, or the reservations end date has been reached –
the end date is an optional field.
