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.
