2.7 Assigning IP address to VIP
The IP address is the unique logical address identifying each IP node, such as VIP, on an IP net-
work. An IP address is a 32-bit number expressed as four decimal numbers from 0 to 255 sepa-
rated by periods. VIP needs a static IP address and be aware of the subnet mask and default
gateway (typically a router) of your network to be able to send to and receive data from the IP net-
work. Consult your network manager to obtain a unique and static IP address for VIP, the IP subnet
mask and default gateway of your network, and fill out the work sheet in Appendix D before config-
uring the gateway. Procedures for assigning IP address, default gateway and subnet mask is avail-
able in Chapter 4.
