First vMcd

[caknfd]

Does anyone know or can you point me where to find the information/rules on how the MSL and system IP address reservations are come up with.

I have asked the same question many times for both vMCD and the MXe Server which even has more reserved IPs.

I've been unable to find much information about this topic, however you can have a look at the Eng. Guidelines where I believe they mention something. There is also an Online course (MOL) that I did about 2 years ago about the Virtual Application that I also think IP reservation is mentioned.

For vMCD you need 1 static IP address for the MSL and a /30 range of IP addresses for the vNCD. Example:

MSL server - 192.168.123.35
vMCD /30 - 192.168.123.40, 192.168.123.41, 192.168.123.42 & 192.168.123.43

The vMCD IP address will be 192.168.123.41.

Here is a link to a subnet cheat sheet that shows /30 subnets -

Don't have anyting myself but as SXWizard shows you need addresses for the MSL and addresses for the MCD portions. I think some of the reasons for the number of IP are simply the rules of subnets i.e the lowest IP address in a subnet is the network address and the hightest the broadcast address so that in a /30 subnet the top and bottom addresses are not available ( sort of ) to the MCD. Anyways I am not an expert and maybe someone can correct me.

I'd tell you a UDP joke but I'm afraid you won't get it. TCP jokes are the best because you always get them.

Thanks for all of the replies. What was messing me up is someone told me they thought it was a /29 range and things were not making sence. Someone else had me do an ifconfig in Linix and it showed it was actually /30. Then things started making more sence. Does anyone know if the /30 can be change? Reason being all of the other 3300s on the network have an IP address the ends in .12 with the /30 subnet .12 cant be used and if was easy enough to change i would like to keep them all .12 if not it will just have to be something else.

Thanks

You have to use a /30 subnet. Values are pretty much defined as to what will be available and what won't. Best you can do is get a subnet calculator and play around.
