Mixture of types of dynamic VIPAs within subnets

Any particular IP address can be used in only one way as a dynamic VIPA. A dynamic VIPA can be defined either with VIPADEFINE or by application action within a valid VIPARANGE, but not both. However, within a subnet defined as a VIPARANGE, some IP addresses can be used for VIPADEFINE, and others may be assigned to unique application instances, without conflict, as long as the limit of a total of 1024 active and backup dynamic VIPAs on a single TCP/IP is not exceeded. TCP/IP will make no attempt to reject a VIPADEFINE dynamic VIPA that also falls within a VIPARANGE. This allows installations with limited availability of IP addresses to assign individual addresses to either application scenario, without having to define separate subnets and use up additional IP addresses in that manner.
