Private Subnets on the OnBoard
Connected devices should be isolated (as recommended under “Device
Configuration” on page 46) on a management network that is separate from
the production network and from the public network. With the recommended
configuration, the OnBoard administrator must create at least one private
subnet for communicating with connected devices. The administrator must
then assign to each connected device the following two address-related
parameters:
• The name of the private subnet
• An address within the private subnet’s address range to be used by devices
when communicating with the OnBoard
If a device is not assigned a private subnet, the OnBoard attempts to contact
the device using the default route, which cannot work unless the device is
connected to a network on the public side of the OnBoard.
For more details about setting up subnets, see the following related topics.
• “Address Configuration for Connected Devices” on page 372
• “Configuring Private Subnets and Virtual Networks” on page 279
Private subnets can be configured in the Web Manager on the Wizard Subnets
screen or on the Network Private Subnets screen as described in:
• “Configuring Private Subnets and Virtual Addresses—Wizard” on page
130
• “Configuring Private Subnets and Virtual Networks” on page 279.
