TrendMiner is built on a modern, container-based platform that runs on Kubernetes. As a result, the application relies on dynamically assigned IP addresses rather than a single fixed address. Below a short explanation on Kubernetes and the required IP-ranges.
A Kubernetes-based platform
Kubernetes is responsible for starting, stopping, and managing the different services that make up TrendMiner.
In a Kubernetes environment, services run as containers that can be restarted, replaced, or moved as part of normal operation, for example during upgrades. Because of this dynamic behavior, individual container IP addresses are not fixed and TrendMiner requires multiple IP-ranges.
Required IP-ranges
When you install TrendMiner, by default the following IP ranges are used:
-
10.42.0.0/24
-
10.42.1.0/24
-
10.41.0.0/24
These IP ranges should not be used by other applications on the same network. They are used locally within the platform and do not need to be externally routable. If any of these ranges are already in use in your environment, please contact TrendMiner Support before installing or upgrading and together we can configure a different custom set of IP ranges instead.
Systems on your local network—such as user devices, LDAP servers, TrendMiner connectors, and DNS servers—should not use IP addresses from the ranges listed above.
Some additional info on the IP-ranges can be found in our documentation: https://documentation.trendminer.com/en/appliance-ip-requirements-faqs.html
