Abstract

A method, system and computer program product for automatic IP range selection is provided. The GUI accepts user input for a parent IP range and IP range size, from which is calculated an address space prefix that corresponds to the address space that has the available IP range size. If the user does not provide input, the GUI fields are dynamically populated with default values for IP range, address prefix, address space, IP range, and number of addresses, wherein the default values are retrieved from a system IP network configuration.
