3Click Add. The first wizard page appears.

4Click Next. The Server Subnet - Define Subnet page appears.

5Enter 192.168.2.254 in the IP Address field.

If configuring for a redundant configuration, you need to enter the IP addresses of both Device A and Device B.

6Enter 255.255.255.0 in the Subnet Mask field.

7Click Next. The Server Subnet - Device A Floating Address page appears

8Complete the entry in the Floating Address field. For example,
