Reserving IP addresses

You can reserve an IP address to prevent the system from using it when provisioning sites.

IP addresses are allocated when IP-based sites are created. Scopes and IP addresses are not used when name-based sites are created.

To reserve IP addresses:

  1. On the top navigation bar, click administration, then click the ip addresses tab.

  2. On the scope list, select a scope that contains the IP addresses you want to reserve. Only available IP addresses can be reserved.

  3. Click list addresses.

  4. On the IP address list, select the check box in the Select column of the IP addresses you want to reserve.

  5. At the bottom of the scope list, click Reserve.

  6. In the dialog box, verify the IP addresses you are reserving, then click OK. The state of these IP addresses is shown as Reserved on the IP address list.
