7. Select
Configure static IP address ranges check box, and then do the following:
NOTE: Currently, stating IP addressing is not supported for SAN [FCoE] network types.
NOTE: After a network is created, you cannot select or clear the Configure static IP address
ranges check box to configure static IP address pools.
a. In the Gateway field, type the default gateway IP address for routing network traffic.
b. In the Subnet Mask field, type the subnet mask.
c. Optionally, in the Primary DNS and Secondary DNS fields, type the IP addresses of primary DNS
(required) and secondary DNS (optional).
d. Optionally, in the DNS Suffix field, type the DNS suffix to append for host name resolution.
e. Click Add IP Range, type a Starting IP Address and Ending IP Address, and then click Save IP
Range. Repeat this step to add multiple IP address ranges based on the requirement.
NOTE: The IP address ranges cannot overlap. For example, you cannot create an IP address
range of 10.10.10.1–10.10.10.100 and another range of 10.10.10.50–10.10.10.150.
NOTE: The network type can be edited only if the network is not currently referenced by a
template.

Network Types
Using ASM, you can manage the following network types.
• Private LAN
— Used to access network resources for functions such as vMotion traffic or heartbeat
communication.
• Public LAN
— Used to access network resources for basic networking activities.
NOTE
: Private and public LANs are functionally identical in ASM. The purpose of offering both
labels is to help users categorize LANs based on functional use.
• SAN (iSCSI)— Used to manage storage-related traffic on an iSCSI network. If an IP address pool is
associated with the network, then ASM can use it to configure the iSCSI initiator IP address when
doing a SAN (iSCSI) boot. Static or DHCP.
• SAN (FCoE)
— Used to identify storage-related traffic on a Fibre Channel Over Ethernet (FCoE)
network.
• Hypervisor Management — Used to identify the management network for a hypervisor or operating
system deployed on a server.
• Hypervisor Migration
— Used to manage the network that you want to use for live migration. Live
migration allows you to move running virtual machines from one node of the failover cluster to
another node in the same cluster.
• Hypervisor Cluster Private
— Used for private cluster heartbeat network communication.
• PXE
— Used to manage Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) network for OS imaging on servers.
• Fileshare
— Used to manage the NFS traffic in the NetApp Storage file system.
VLAN ID
A VLAN ID is a unique identifier that enables switching and routing of network traffic.
