Private Subnets on the MergePoint SP5324/SP5340 Appliance

Target devices connecting to the private subnets on a MergePoint SP5324/SP5340 appliance can be
isolated on a management network that is separate from the production and public networks. To
enable communications between the target devices and the MergePoint SP5324/SP5340 appliance,
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 target device 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 target devices 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.

1. Click Network - Private subnet.
2. Click Add.
3. Enter a name in the Private subnet name field.
4. In the Appliance side IP address field, enter an IP address for the MergePoint SP5324/SP5340
appliance within the private subnet's network address range.
5. In the Subnet Mask field, enter a netmask for the private subnet.
6. Click Apply.
