Caution! Changing or deleting an existing private subnet changes the
configuration of any device that was previously-configured to use that private
subnet; the private subnet is removed from the device’s configuration, and on
subsequent attempts to contact the device, the OnBoard tries to use the default
route. After changing or deleting a private subnet, to avoid making devices
unavailable make sure to reassign all affected devices to the correct private
subnet.
Before configuring and assigning private subnets, the site’s administrators
must plan an addressing scheme that reflects the needs of the organization.
Configuring private subnets is only part of the preparatory work that must be
done.
See “Device Configuration” on page 46 and “Private Subnets on the
OnBoard” on page 53 for an introduction to the information needed for
understanding what private subnet(s) you need to configure and what values
to enter in the fields shown in Figure 4-17. See also Appendix , ‘Advanced
Device Configuration” on page 345.
