Entering Internal IP Addresses

When you enter internal IP addresses for a profile, you now have more flexibility in entering them. You can enter IP addresses in any of these ways:

Full IP address. Enter the full IP address.

(For example, enter “250.250.250.0”.)

Wildcard IP addresses. Enter IP addresses with wildcards in any of these fomats: n*, n.m.*, n.n.m.*, or n.n.n.*, where “m” represents zero to two digits and “n” represents one to three digits.

(For example, enter any of these IP addresses: “250.*”, “250.99.*”, “250.250.99.*”, or “250.250.250.*”.)

Range of IP addresses. Enter a range of IP addresses in any of these formats: n-n, n.n-n.n, n.n.n-n.n.n, n.n.n.n-n.n.n.n, where “n” represents one to three digits.

(For example, enter any of these IP addresses: “250-260”, “250.250.250.0-260.260.260.250”, “250.250-260.250”, “250.250.250-260”.)

Note: You cannot use a wildcard within a range of IP addresses.

Netmask of IP addresses. Enter IP addresses with this format: n.n.n.n/m, where ”m” represents how many bits need to match in the IP address.

(For example, enter any of these formats: “250.250.130.12/24” or “250.250.250.12/1”.)

Computer name. If you have mapped the workstation’s name to a static IP address in the “windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts” file on the computer where the Application Server is running, you can enter the remote computer name instead of the IP address.

Information Portal does not check for duplicate IP addresses. Having duplicate IP addresses does not cause any problems.

Here are some rules to follow when entering IP addresses:

All octets of an IP address that begin with a zero must contain only a zero. (For example, “250.250.250.0” is a valid IP address, but “250.250.250.02” is not.)
Octets must be “255” or less.
