Table 160 Address Range attributes
Attribute Description
Range (R#) Allows you to specify the Range identifier.
The range box uniquely identifies an Address range in the scope. The value for this setting
must follow certain conventions. It must always start with the prefix 'R' followed by a unique
number identifying the range in the table. For example, 'R2' is a valid name. Specify
nonrecurring values for the unique number. If you specify an existing range name, it modifies
the existing range. If you use nonsequential numbers, the system automatically reassigns
sequential numbers. When you modify a range, you cannot change the range name. The
range name does not have any significance other than identifying an entry.
Start Address Allows you to specify a the first IP address in the Address Range.
Enter the IP address in the dotted format.
End Address Allows you to specify a the last IP address in the Address Range.
Make sure the start address and end address are in the same subnet.
Enter the IP address in the dotted format.
