Appendix A: Advanced Device Configuration 395
Address Configuration for Connected Devices
As stated elsewhere, users who have the following types of access to a device
cannot be prevented from seeing the real IP address of the device:
• Native IP
• Device console
• Service processor console
The following figure (Figure A-14) shows the same configuration as Figure
A-6, but with the addition of virtual IP addresses.
Figure A-14 shows an example of virtual network configuration that enables
virtual addresses to be assigned to connected devices and to the OnBoard. The
administrator plans to assign virtual IP addresses in the 172.20.0.1 range to
hide the real private subnet IP addresses.
