Zusammenfassung:	A method and system for assigning logical addresses to connection ports of devices of a server cluster. The method includes defining a logical addressing policy in respect of said connection ports of devices of the cluster; based on a logical distribution of the devices of the cluster in the data transmission network, a geographic distribution, and a hardware definition of the devices of the cluster, initializing a server cluster administration database; according to the logical addressing policy, assigning logical addresses to the connection ports of devices of the server cluster; and saving the logical addresses assigned in the server cluster administration database. The system includes an automatic logical address allocator configured to perform these functions based on execution settings of a structured description file of the logical addressing policy and the content of a previously initialized administration database.
