The following tables detail the IP addresses required by IDPA for various components. These addresses can be assigned either as a range of addresses or as individual, noncontiguous addresses. Using a range is the preferred method because it simplifies the assignment and reduces the chance for errors while you enter the IP addresses. When you use a range of IP addresses during the IDPA configuration, the IP addresses are assigned in a standard order.
The following tables are separated to provide model-specific information about the IP address that must be allocated to a component. The first column in each table lists the value that you must add to the first IP address in the range.
