v 207.25.252.200
v 207.25.252.204
The following IPv4 addresses are for all locations other than the Americas:

Note: When configuring a firewall to allow an HMC to connect to these servers, only the IP addresses
specific to the geographic region are required.
The HMC uses the following IPv6 addresses to contact IBM service and support when it is configured to
use Internet SSL connectivity:
v 2620:0:6C0:1::1000
v 2620:0:6C1:1::1000
v 2620:0:6C2:1::1000

Using a virtual private network to connect to remote support

A virtual private network (VPN) provides security when connecting to remote support.
A VPN gives users the privacy of a separate network over public lines by substituting encryption and
other security measures for the physically separate network lines of traditional private networks. In
addition to being able to be used for outbound connectivity, a VPN connection can also be configured on
an as-needed basis to support remote service requests.
It is system administrator's responsibility to provide an Internet connection. The firewall may also limit
the specific IP addresses to which the HMC can connect. If you need to configure your firewall to limit
the IP addresses, see"VPN server address list" for a list of addresses you can use.
For more information about how to connect to the Internet using a LAN-based VPN, see "Configuring
the HMC network types" on page 50.
