INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM

An information processing apparatus includes an acquiring unit, a creating unit, and a requesting unit. The acquiring unit acquires a first communication address to be assigned to a first communication interface. The creating unit creates, in a case where a second communication address that has already been assigned to a second communication interface is the same as the first communication address, an alternative first communication address, which is different from the first communication address. The requesting unit requests assigning of the alternative first communication address to the first communication interface.
