Private Subnets on the MergePoint SP5x24/SP5x40 Manager

Service processors connecting to the private subnets on a MergePoint SP5x24/SP5x40 manager
can be isolated on a management network that is separate from the production and public
networks. To enable communications between the SPs and the MergePoint SP5x24/SP5x40
manager, an Admin user must configure at least one private subnet. The Admin user then
assigns each private subnet the following:
• A name
• An address within the private subnet's address range to be used by the SP when
communicating with the MergePoint SP manager
Any number of private subnets may be configured. Multiple private subnets may be needed if
IP addresses for SPs are not in the same range.
NOTE: If changing or deleting a private subnet, reassign all affected devices to another private subnet to avoid
making them unavailable.
NOTE: If you are using DHCP and plan to assign a 192.168.0.x address to the MergePoint SP manager, see
Setting up a private subnet and DHCP service in the 192.168.0.x range on page 198 to avoid IP address conflicts.
