Scope IP address page

The scope IP address page shows all the IP addresses in a particular scope. Scopes are logical groupings of IP addresses associated with a specific subnet mask. IP addresses are allocated from scopes when IP-based sites are created. Scopes and IP addresses are not used when name-based sites are created.

On the scope IP address page you can perform several tasks and view the following information:

- In the scope information section. General information about the scope. These include name, description, subnet mask, and IP range; they are set when the scope is added.

- In the statistics section. Specifics about the scope's capacity and current use. These include scope capacity, available addresses, addresses in use, and reserved addresses. This information is updated whenever the page is loaded or refreshed.

- The list of IP addresses in the scope. Information on this list includes:

- Select. Whether an IP address has been selected for an action, such as reserve, unreserve, or remove.

- IP Address. The IP address.

- Status. The current state of the IP address. States include:

Available. The IP address is available to be assigned. It is neither in use nor reserved.

Reserved. The IP address has been reserved for use by other servers.

In Use. The IP address is in use by a site.

- Used by. Information about who is using the IP address. If the IP address is used by a site, this column shows the site's name. If the IP address is not used by a site, but it is still in use, Ping Succeeded appears in this column. If the IP address is Available, this column is blank.
