The following documents have detailed descriptions on how to build
your own IP addressing scheme:

Example Addressing Scheme
On the next page is an example of a class C addressing scheme. Class C
addresses allow up to 254 devices to be configured. If you have 254 or
fewer devices to be managed on your network, you can use the
addressing scheme shown below. If you have more than 254 devices to
configure, see the referenced documents and use a class B addressing
scheme. Class B allows 65534 devices to be configured.
The IP address format is X.X.X.X, where each X is an integer between 1
and 255. The integers are separated by decimal points. For a given
network with its own class C addressing scheme, the first three integers
of each address must be the same. The fourth integer must be unique for
each addressed device. Do not use 0 or 255 as the value in the last
position on the right. They are reserved integers.
For three hubs and an HP network management station on the network,
the class C addresses might be:
management station
first hub
second hub
third hub
...
The IP Configuration function in the HP Stack Manager software
enables you to specify IP addresses. See chapter 2, "Installing and Using
HP Stack Manager", and the software's online help system for details.
