Figure 1-1: Recommended Device Configuration
Preparing an Addressing Scheme
Before configuring any connected devices, the OnBoard administrator must
plan and implement an IP addressing scheme that reflects the needs of the
organization.
As illustrated in Figure 1-1 the dedicated Ethernet ports on service processors
and on other supported types of devices are connected to the private Ethernet
ports on the OnBoard. Each connected device’s dedicated Ethernet port needs
an internal IP address assigned on the OnBoard and configured for the
interface. By implementing an addressing scheme, the administrator creates a
pool of internal addresses that can be assigned to the devices’ dedicated
Ethernet ports and configured for the device on the OnBoard side.
