Create an IP Address Allocation Range

If the networking requirements of the server template associated with the NRP require one or more IP addresses, create an IP Address Allocation Range or use an existing one that can satisfy the resource requirements. To create an IP Address Allocation Range, follow these steps:

  1. Click the IP Address Allocation Ranges tab.
    Network Configuration Assistant screen capture
  2. From the Actions list, select New.
    Network Configuration Assistant screen capture
  3. In the Name field, enter a name.
  4. Optional: Add a description.
  5. Optional: Enter a string in the Usage Type field. The entered value, even if no value is entered, must be coordinated with the usage type specified while provisioning the server instance. In most cases, leave the Usage Type field empty .
  6. Clear the Is Quiesced check box. Quiesced resources cannot be used for provisioning requests.
  7. In the IP Address table, enter a range of IP addresses. This can be a single IP address, a range in the format <low> - <high> or a subnet using CIDR notation. This example uses the subnet, 10.1.1.1/24 in the first row. This becomes a subnet reserved for cloud provisioning.
  8. Clear the Is Quiesced check box in this table row.
  9. Click Save.
