Configuring Private Subnets and Virtual Addresses—Wizard
132 AlterPath OnBoard Administrator’s Guide
The following table defines the information that the administrative user must
supply in the fields that define a subnet.
The OnBoard derives the range of addresses in the subnet from the OnBoard-
side IP address and the subnet mask.The OnBoard uses the specified
information to create a route to the subnet in the OnBoard’s routing table.
The example in Figure 4-18 shows a private subnet name of “net1,” an
OnBoard side IP address of 192.168.0.254, and a subnet netmask of
255.255.255.0. The private subnet address derived from this configuration is
192.168.0.0.
