About this task
The following steps must be completed before starting initial configuration with the Appliance
Configuration Manager:
Procedure
1. Identify 13 unassigned IP addresses for the IDPA components. To simplify configuration,
select 13 contiguous addresses.
Note that all components must run on a single VLAN or subnet with the exception of the
iDRAC interface, which can be on a separate subnet or VLAN. For further information about
IP addresses, see
Note:
The DP4400 installation requires IP addresses strictly from a single subnet having a
single gateway.
2. Register the 13 IP addresses in DNS with forward and reverse lookup entries for each
address. Ensure that the router for the 13 IP addresses can be pinged.
