Configuration Manager Editor window: Internet IP Configuration Pool

The Configuration Manager Editor window: Internet IP Configuration Pool component allows you to configure a pool of static IP addresses to assign to the management modules and switch module internal configuration ports in a BladeCenter® chassis, or service processors in xSeries® or Netfinity® servers.

Introduction

To configure one BladeCenter chassis, you need a minimum of three IP addresses. However, you might want to configure a larger pool of IP addresses so that you can use the profile for future BladeCenter chassis configurations.
Note: The IP addresses must be located on the same subnet on the management local area network (LAN).

Fields

Gateway
Type the gateway IP for the network in which the BladeCenter chassis or service processor resides. This is a required field.
Subnet mask
Type the subnet mask for the network in which the BladeCenter chassis or service processor resides. This is a required field.
Single IP
Allows you to type a single IP address that you want to include in the pool of IP addresses to be used for BladeCenter or service processor configuration.
Add Single IP
Adds the IP address in the Single IP field to the pool of IP addresses reserved for BladeCenter or service processor configuration.
Range IP
Allows you to type a range of IP addresses that you want to include in the pool of IP addresses to be used for BladeCenter or service processor configuration.
Minimum
Allows you to type the beginning IP address for the range of IP addresses that you want to specify. This is a required field if you are specifying a Range IP.
Maximum
Allows you to type the ending IP address for the range of IP addresses that you want to specify. This is a required field if you are specifying a Range IP.
Add Range IP
Adds the range of IP addresses specified in the Range IP Minimum and Maximum fields to the pool of IP addresses reserved for BladeCenter or service processor configuration.
