IP considerations

Before installing MKE, adopt the following practices when assigning IP addresses:

  • Ensure that your network and nodes support using a static IPv4 address and assign one to every node.

  • Avoid IP range conflicts. The following table lists the recommended addresses you can use to avoid IP range conflicts:
