When the application looks for a MID Server to use during auto-selection, it chooses a MID Server whose IP range includes the application's range or specific IP address. Applications also use other criteria, such as the MID Server's supported application or capability. See [MID Server selection](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/mrx4cQ9hAtMgiweuFR2raw "You can configure MID Server selection by application, IP address ranges, network capability, or behavior. Specific MID Servers can be assigned to particular tasks, or the MID Server can be selected automatically. MID Servers can use domain separation to limit the scope of discoveries and event management.") for more information. Hinweis: This is a manual configuration procedure. To learn how the system can assign IP address ranges to selected MID Servers automatically, see [Using MID Server IP range auto-assignment](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/3R0w0HgydzjLMISPrg_88w#mid-servers-auto-assignment "Discovery Quick Start can automatically assign ranges of IP addresses, called subnets, to qualified MID Servers. This subnet auto-assignment requires SNMP credentials for read-only access to routers Discovery uses. The Automation Status Set form shows summary details of subnet Discoveries and the IP range assignments for associated MID Servers."). These applications use IP ranges as follows: * Orchestration: Use the IP address of the target machine (together with the capability) to select the correct MID Server for Orchestration activities. See the procedure in this topic to configure the IP address. * Service Mapping: Select the MID Server whose IP address range matches the IP in the discovery request. See [MID Server configuration for Service Mapping](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=configure-mid-service-mapping&version=australia&pubname=australia-it-operations-management&ft:locale=en-US) for more information. * Discovery: Can select an IP address range using the same criteria as Service Mapping. Discovery can also use a [quick IP range](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=discovery-ip-address-configuration&version=australia&pubname=australia-it-operations-management&ft:locale=en-US) that you specify in the Discovery schedule. {#t_ConfigureMIDIPRange__ul_dxt_xlg_2z} Tipp: You can also use the ALL IP range, which allows the MID Server to be used with any range of IP addresses that an application specifies. This only allows the MID Server to access IP ranges, it does not mean that the MID Server can actually reach all of the IP ranges. To function with an application, the MID server must have access to the IP ranges that the application needs. Valid IP address ranges can be as follows:{#t_ConfigureMIDIPRange__ValidIPRanges} An IP address in dotted decimal or hexadecimal format. The hexadecimal format can be explicitly prefixed with 0x, this is not mandatory. Here are examples: * 10.11.144.155 * 0x0A0B909B * 0A0B909B {#t_ConfigureMIDIPRange__ul_qrl_vf5_lw} An IP address range in dotted decimal or hexadecimal format. Here are examples: * 10.11.144.150-10.11.144.160 * 0x0A0B9096-0x0A0B90A0 * 10.11.144.150-0x0A0B90A0 {#t_ConfigureMIDIPRange__ul_qft_tg5_lw} An IP network address with the net mask specified after a slash (/) in regular notation (0-32 inclusive) or in IP address notation. Here are examples: * 10.11.144.0/24 10.11.144.0/255.255.255.0 * 10.11.144.0/0xFFFFFF00 * 0x0A0B9000/24 * 0x0A0B9000/0xFFFFFF00 {#t_ConfigureMIDIPRange__ul_d53_dh5_lw} ## Prozedur 1. Navigate to AllMID ServerIP Ranges. 2. Click New. 3. Complete the form, using the fields in the table. Abbildung : 1. IP address ranges {#t_ConfigureMIDIPRange__table_flk_pk1_mw__entry__2} | Field | Description | |-|-| | Name | Enter a descriptive name. | | Application | Application scope for this IP range. The default is Global. | | Type | Select the type of range: * Include: Include the specified IP range. * Exclude: Exclude the IP address range. Hinweis: If a MID Server is configured for ALL applications, any IP addresses configured for exclusion are ignored by the system. If your goal is to configure default MID Servers for separate applications in your system, see [Configure a default MID Server for each application](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/w9EY~XrPmGYckzTIYooBcQ#t_SpecifyMIDServerApplications "You can configure a default MID Server that an application can use if all other possible MID Servers are unavailable. You can narrow down the list of applications that are included in the definition of ALL."). {#t_ConfigureMIDIPRange__ul_jk3_xk1_mw} | | Range | Enter the range in a valid format. | | Related list || | MID Servers | The MID Servers that can use this IP address range. | [ ] {#t_ConfigureMIDIPRange__table_flk_pk1_mw} {#t_ConfigureMIDIPRange__cmd_complete-form-step} 4. Click Save. Wichtig: IP ranges assigned manually prior to using auto-assignment in the [Discovery Quick Start](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=discovery-quick-start&version=australia&pubname=australia-it-operations-management&ft:locale=en-US) are affected as follows: * Individual IP ranges are retained and appended to the ranges assigned automatically by the system for the designated MID Server. * If the MID Server was configured with the ALL ranges selection, the auto-assignment feature overwrites that designation with the ranges it finds. {#t_ConfigureMIDIPRange__ul_phf_sz4_cz} {#t_ConfigureMIDIPRange__cmd_save-step} {#t_ConfigureMIDIPRange__IPRangeConfigSteps} ## Nächste Maßnahme Open the ALL IP range record and configure the MID Servers that you want to use with any set of IP addresses.
