To add addresses to the Internal network, on the Internal Network page, you can select the following:
-
Add Range You can add a range of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. You must specify the beginning and ending IP address in the range, for example, 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.255.
-
Add Adapter You can select a network adapter. The addresses that will be included in the Internal network will be based on the IP address and subnet mask of the selected adapter.
-
Add Private You can add addresses defined as non-routable addresses based on Request for Comment (RFC) 1918 and on the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) feature. For more information about private addresses, see the following:
-
"RFC1918" at the rfc.net Web site.
-
"How to Use Automatic TCP/IP Addressing Without a DHCP Server" at Microsoft Help and Support.
The following table shows address ranges based on RFC 1918 or APIPA.
