Address Configuration for Connected Devices
As stated in “Preparing an Addressing Scheme” on page 47, the OnBoard
administrator must plan and implement an IP addressing scheme to create a
pool of private IP addresses to assign when configuring connected devices.
The following table lists the related topics the administrator needs to
understand when doing the planning and implementation of the private IP
addresses and provides links to where they are documented.
Table A-9: Tasks for Creating Addresses to Assign to Connected Devices (Sheet 1 of 3)
Task Where Described
Private IP addresses must be defined by the
creation of at least one private subnet.
A private subnet must be created for each IP
address range used by the connected
devices.
