Create a Port Allocation Range

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

  1. Click the Port Allocation Ranges tab.
    Network Configuration Assistant screen capture
  2. From the Actions list, select New.
  3. In the Name field, enter a unique 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 here empty.
  6. Clear the Is Quiesced check box.
    Network Configuration Assistant screen capture
  7. Enter a set of individual port numbers or port ranges, one per row, in either or both of the TCP port range input table or UDP port range input table.
  8. Clear the Is Quiesced check box in the rows where you entered ports.
    Network Configuration Assistant screen capture
  9. Click the Help link for more information on this panel and fill in the remainder of the panel according to your own requirements.
  10. Click Save.
