An efficient technique for IP address auto-configuration for nodes is an important component in the MANET setup. Previously proposed approaches either need a broadcast over complete network and / or need a duplicate address detection mechanism leading to an inefficient latency and overhead in assignment of addresses. In this paper, an Extended Prime Number Address Allocation (EPNA) technique has been proposed that is conflict free and distributed technique. EPNA does not require broadcast and address assignment can be completed with in maximum of four hop communications. In this technique a large number of nodes are empowered to act as proxies to assign the addresses and most of the time it is one-hop communication. Analytical results show that EPNA is capable of auto-configuring any node without much latency and overhead irrespective of address space. The proposed algorithm also gives even IP address distribution and low complexity for small as well large sized MANET.
