Configure Network Setup
The Express setup uses an IP pool for network configuration. An IP pool consists of blocks IP addresses that
Data Director can allocate to virtual machines on the Internal Network. You can specify a range of IP addresses
for use by Data Director.
Five of the IP addresses that you assign are used to configure the Data Director network interfaces, and the
remaining two IP addresses are used by a single instance of the database you provision. Any remaining IP
addresses are placed in an IP pool for use by the virtual machines and databases that you deploy within Data
Director. The more IP addresses you specify, the more virtual machines and databases you can deploy within
Data Director.
Prerequisites
