corresponding IP addresses to use during TCP/IP configuration. The list will
also be used when installing the software’s rendering services.
Using the Manager name is particularly useful when its IP address is assigned
dynamically via DHCP, and can change from session to session.
On a closed network, you don't have to worry much about conflicts with the
IP addresses of other network domains. However, the addresses need to follow
a consistent pattern and each must be unique within your network.
WARNING On an open network, such as those in many large corporations, do
not alter IP addresses in any way. In such cases, to avoid potentially disastrous
consequences, always work with your system administrator to make IP address
changes.
Procedures
To create machine names and IP addresses:
■ Create a list of machine names and IP addresses.
Unless you have specific needs for later compatibility with another network,
use the following list as a model.
Since the Manager machine can also act as a server, start naming your
servers to match their IP addresses as shown in the list below. Remember,
any one machine can act as a manager under network rendering. Like an
IP address, each name must be unique. Also keep in mind that you must
not use the numbers 0 or 255 in the last group (or octet) of an IP address
as they are reserved.
WARNING Machine names should not start with numbers or have spaces or
underscores in them, as those will result in illegal names in TCP/IP. This will cause
unexpected behavior in the network rendering system.
