Start IP Address
This is the lowest IP address in a range of IP addresses that can be
automatically assigned to an appliance that is a member of the group.
End IP Address
This is the highest IP address in a range of IP addresses that can be
automatically assigned to an appliance that is a member of the group.
Subnet Mask
This is the subnet mask value to automatically assign for members of the
group.
Default Gateway
This is the IP address for the default gateway to automatically assign for
members of the group (optional).
DNS Address
This is the IP address of the DNS Address to automatically assign for
members of the group (optional). Up to three entries are available.
Use Current Host Name
This is the host name of the appliance server and it is not automatically
assigned.
Use "i"Prefix and Model-Serial number
The host name is set to use an "i" prefix and the model and serial number
of the appliance server. This is the default name that is preconfigured on
xSeries 130 appliance servers. For example, an appliance server with
the model number of 86545DX and serial number of 23T9762 yields a
host name of i86545DX23T9762.
Use Prefix-IP Address
A user-specified prefix is combined with the appliance server IP address
to generate the host name. Periods (.) are invalid in a host name, and are
replaced with hyphens (-). When you supply the prefix, remember that
the total length of the host name cannot exceed 15 characters.
Domain Name
Enter the DNS domain name to assign to appliance servers. On systems
that are running Windows, this is the DNS Suffix Search. This field is
optional.
