Tips and Tricks
- Be patient and take your time!
- Watch for typos! IP addresses are an exact science!
- IMPORTANT! All devices on the same network must have IP addresses within the same IP scheme, and every device must have a unique address. For example, an IP scheme of 172.16.10.___ may be able to accommodate devices with addresses from 172.16.10.2 to 172.16.10.254, but if two devices have the same address, neither device will work.
- Every network is different. When in doubt, always contact your Network Management Team.
