manage certain classes of devices independently, the virtual interface must first be assigned an IP.
The priv virtual interface is by default: 192.168.10.1/24.
To assign virtual interfaces IP addresses:
1. Browse to the network settings page located at Administration - Targets - Port Configuration -
Network Settings.
2. Use the drop-down menu under state to enable the interface.
3. Enter the IP address/mask and broadcast address.
4. Click Apply.
The IPaddress (CIDR format)is sometimes referred to as prefix notation for an IP/mask combo.
The IP/mask information required is the number of bits occupying the network portion of a subnet
mask when displayed in binary notation. The following table is an example.
Decimal Binary Prefix/CIDR Example
255.0.0.0 11111111.00000000.00000000.00000000 /8 10.1.2.3/8
255.255.0.0 11111111.11111111.00000000.00000000 /16 172.18.1.4/16
255.255.255.0 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 /24 192.168.1.10/24
255.255.255.252 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111100 /30 176.23.8.1/30
CIDR Format Example
After assigning the virtual interface IP addresses, new DHCP ranges can be created. It is important
to ensure that the DHCP range is appropriate for the IP assigned to the virtual interface but that the
range does not contain that IP (avoid potential for IP conflict). The virtual IP should be assigned as
the gateway for the new range.
To create dynamic DHCP ranges:
1. Browse to Targets - Port Configuration - DHCP Settings.
2. Under Dynamic Ranges, click Add.
3. Enter the Subnet address, the start and end range, the subnet mask and the gateway.
4. Click Apply.
The appliance will attempt to add any SP with an assigned IPaddress. If the default user list
contains valid SPcredentials, the appliance will be able to leverage the accounts list to find
matching credentials. If the appliance is able to successfully log in, the SP will appear within the
targets list.
To add/edit credentials in the default users list:
1. Browse to Targets - SP Management - Default Users.
