    Abstract: A method for assigning a transmission control protocol/internet protocol address to a blade server when it is newly added to a blade centre. When a new blade server is added, a blade discovery module identifies the configuration data from the new blade server, which comprises a unique number of the blade centre, a unique number of a blade slot and a media access control address for a network interface of the new blade server. This data is then sent to an address assignment module, which then derives an IP address based on the unique blade centre and slot numbers and assigns it to the server.
