How do I specify the IP addresses that can access the SRS?

The Registrar Data Form has a section where you can specify the IP subnets that will be accessing the production SRS. The specified subnets must conform to the following rules:

  • A maximum of 2 subnets.

  • A maximum of 64 IP addresses between the two subnets

  • Subnets must be specified in CIDR format (e.g. 192.168.1.0/27) where the "/27" represents the length of the subnet. The limitation on the maximum of 64 IP addresses means that the length will never be less than /26.

  • Examples of valid subnets include:

    • One subnet of 64 hosts (e.g. 192.168.1.0/26)

    • Two subnets of 32 hosts or less (e.g. subnet #1 as 192.168.2.0/27, which represents 32 addresses 192.168.2.0 to 192.168.2.31; and subnet #2 as 192.168.3.0/27, which represents 32 addresses 192.168.3.0 to 192.168.3.31)

  • The specified subnets must fall on valid bit boundaries. For example, a subnet specified as 192.168.2.1/27 is not acceptable because ".1" is not a valid boundary for a /27 subnet. The following table defines the valid boundaries for each subnet length.

  • Length of Subnet Number of Hosts Boundaries
    /26 64 0,64,128,192
    /27 32 0,32,64,96,128,160,192,224
    /28 16 0,16,32,48,64,80,96,112,128, 144,160,176,192,208,224,240
    /29 8 0,8,16,24,32,40,...,248
    (in increments of 8)
    /30 4 0,4,8,12,16,20,...,252
    (in increments of 4)
    /31 2 0,2,4,6,8,12,...,254
    (in increments of 2)
    /32 1 0 through 255
    (in increments of 1)
