OnBoard-specific Tasks for Configuring New
Devices
The following device configuration requirements are unique to the OnBoard:
During device configuration, the OnBoard administrator must assign a
command template to each device.
The OnBoard administrator must also assign each device a private subnet,
except in exceptional cases.
The OnBoard administrator may want to assign to each device a virtual IP
address, which hides the real IP address of the device from users, and
which requires the configuration of a virtual network (DNAT)
The following table lists the sections that apply to each requirement.
