IP Address

Generates a random IP address formatted string.

Characteristics

Consistency

Yes, can be made self-consistent or consistent with another column.

Linking

No, cannot be linked.

How to configure

To configure the generator:

  1. In the Percent IPv4 field, type the percentage of output values that are IPv4 addresses. For example, if you set this to 60, then 60% of the generated IP addresses are IPv4 addresses, and 40% of the generated IP addresses are IPv6 addresses. If you set this to 100, then all of the generated IP addresses are IPv4 addresses. If you set this to 0, then all of the generated IP addresses are IPv6 addresses.

  2. Toggle the Consistency setting to indicate whether to make the column consistent. By default, consistency is disabled.

If you enable consistency, then by default the generator is self-consistent. To make the generator consistent with another column, from the Consistent to dropdown list, select the column. When a generator is self-consistent, then a given value in the source database is always mapped to the same value in the destination database. When a generator is consistent with another column, then a given source value in that column always results in the same IP address value in the destination database. For example, an IP address column is consistent with a username column. For each instance of User1 in the source database, the value in the IP address column is the same.
  • If Structural data encryption is enabled, then to use it for this column, in the advanced options section, toggle Use data encryption process to the on position.
