Issue with NLB Manager - Cluster's IP address

[Pankajdynamic]

Hi,
I've gone through couple of articles on conguring the NLB cluster using NLB
Manager.Below are my queries:

1. In NLB Manager, Cluster Parameter tab, - Can I give any IP address for
Cluster IP address. If No, from where/how do I obtained this IP?

2. After configuring the Cluster IP address, can I expect Reply if I ping to
this IP address? (I'm not getting reply)

3. In NLB Manager, Cluster IP Addresses tab - what is "Additional Cluster IP
Addresses"? Is it for hosting multiple sites? Is it necessory to have entry
in this?

Please help me to understand this.

Thanks in advance
