Using the Network View page to configure node IP addresses for a network

To use the NetworksNetwork View page to configure node IP addresses for a network:

1.On the NetworksNetwork View page, in the network list, click on the name of the network that you want to configure.

2.In the panel that opens, click on the IP Configuration tab.

3.On the IP Configuration panel, in the node IP addresses table at the bottom of the page, specify the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses that you want to assign to each node included in the network:

oTo assign an IPv4 address to a node, in the row for that node, in the text field in the IPv4 Address column, type the IP address that you want to assign to the node on the IPv4 subnet.

oTo assign a primary IPv6 address to a node, in the row for that node, in the text field in the IPv6 Address column, type the IP address that you want to assign to the node on the primary IPv6 subnet.

oTo automatically generate a primary IPv6 address for each node in the HCP system, click on the Calculate Primary button.

Note:  

If any node already has a primary IPv6 address for the network, the generated primary IPv6 address overwrites the existing address.

The Calculate Primary button to generate primary IPv6 addresses only if the primary IPv6 address prefix length is 64 or greater.

oTo assign a secondary IPv6 address to a node, in the row for that node, in the text field in the IPv6 Address column, type the IP address that you want to assign to the node on the secondary IPv6 subnet.

oTo automatically generate a secondary IPv6 address for each node in the HCP system, click on the Calculate Secondary button.

Note:  

If any node already has a secondary IPv6 address for the network, the generated secondary IPv6 address overwrites the existing address.

You can use the Calculate Secondary button to generate secondary IPv6 addresses only if the secondary IPv6 address prefix length is 64 or greater.

 

Note: Fields and buttons used to assign IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to nodes appear only when the appropriate IP Mode options are selected on the IP Configuration panel. The IPv4 Address column in the node list table appears only when the IPv4 option is selected. The IPv6 Address and Secondary IP Address columns in the node list table and the Calculate Primary and Calculate Secondary buttons under the node list table appear only when the IPv6 option is selected.

4.Click on the Update Settings button.

A warning message appears asking you to confirm the changes you’ve made to the IP configuration settings for the network.

5.In the field in the message window, type YES. This is case sensitive.

6.Click on the Update Settings button.
