   Note

   If you are installing Forefront TMG on a computer with a single network adapter, all IP address ranges should be configured for the Internal network, except for the following:

   • 0.0.0.0
     
     
   • 255.255.255.255
     
     
   • 127.0.0.0-127.255.255.255 (Local Host)
     
     
   • 224.0.0.0-254.255.255.255 (multicast)
     
     

8. On the Ready to Install the Program page, click Install.

   Note

   The first time you run the Forefront TMG Management console, the Getting Started Wizard starts automatically, enabling you to modify IP address settings for your networks and to configure update settings. For more information, see Configuring initial deployment settings.

Adding IP addresses to the internal network

On the Addresses page, select any of the following methods to add addresses to the Internal network:

• Add Range—To add a range of 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—To select a network adapter. The IP addresses that are included in the Internal network are based on the IP address and subnet mask of the selected adapter.

• Add Private—To add IP addresses defined as non-routable IP addresses, based on Request for Comment (RFC) 1918, and on the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) feature. For more information about private addresses, see RFC1918 (https://rfc.net/rfc1918.html) and How to use automatic TCP/IP addressing without a DHCP server (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=51291).

The following table shows the permitted IP address ranges, based on RFC 1918 or APIPA.
