1. A method for configuring device addresses used by a source device to communicate with at least one target device, comprising:
- determining a number of device addresses supported by a target device;
determining an identifier of the source device; and
using the determined identifier and the number of device addresses supported by the target device to determine device addresses from the device addresses supported by the target device to communicate with the target device.

Abstract
Provided are a method, system, and program for configuring device addresses used by a source device to communicate with at least one target device. A determination is made of a number of device addresses supported by a target device and an identifier of the source device. The determined identifier and the number of device addresses supported by the target device are used to determine device addresses from the device addresses supported by the target device to communicate with the target device.
