15.0.1.0, 15.0.2.0, 15.0.3.0, 15.0.4.0, 15.0.5.0, 15.0.30.0, 15.0.31.0, 15.0.32.0, 15.0.33.0, 15.0.34.0, 15.0.35.0, 15.0.36.0, 15.0.37.0, 15.0.38.0, 15.0.39.0, 15.0.55.0, 15.0.64.0, 15.0.65.0, 15.0.66.0, 15.0.67.0, 15.0.68.0, 15.0.69.0, 15.0.70.0, 15.0.71.0, 15.0.72.0, 15.0.73.0, 15.0.74.0

From this information, we can formulate the following IP address ranges and import them into HP Web Jetadmin:

●15.0.1.1-15.0.1.254

●15.0.2.1-15.0.2.254

●15.0.3.1-15.0.3.254

●15.0.4.1-15.0.4.254

●15.0.5.1-15.0.5.254

●15.0.30.1-15.0.30.254

●15.0.31.1-15.0.31.254

●15.0.32.1-15.0.32.254

●15.0.33.1-15.0.33.254

●15.0.34.1-15.0.34.254

●15.0.35.1-15.0.35.254

●15.0.36.1-15.0.36.254

●15.0.37.1-15.0.37.254

●15.0.38.1-15.0.38.254

●15.0.39.1-15.0.39.254

We can take the formulation one step further and simplify things. Some of the IP ranges are contiguous. These contiguously-addressed subnets are one after the other, in order, making it easy to combine them. The final result would look like this:

●15.0.1.1-15.0.5.254

●15.0.30.1-15.0.39.254

This has reduced the number of IP ranges from 15 to 2. We can build this into a form that is easily imported into HP Web Jetadmin and also reflects descriptions. Here is an example of data that can be imported via a text file:

●15.0.1.1-15.0.5.254 = subnet range for western area

●15.0.30.1-15.0.39.254 = subnet range for central area

●15.0.55.1-15.0.55.254 = subnet range for branch office

●15.0.64.1-15.0. 74.254 = subnet range for eastern area

Consolidating ranges makes dealing with large quantities of data simpler but may not help when descriptions are needed for the purpose of cataloging ranges.

Import and Export Features of IP Range Files

IP range data can be developed in other tools and imported through text files. In fact, HP Web Jetadmin can export IP range data to text files. This makes it easier to deal with large numbers of IP ranges, manipulate
