62 Chapter 4 Management IP interface configuration

Required information

Before you configure the management interface, collect the following information:

•IP address for the management interface

The management IP address must be accessible from one of the private physical interfaces on the VPN Router 1750. For example, if you plan to assign IP address 10.2.3.3 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0 to the private physical interface, the management IP address must reside in the 10.2 network.

•subnet mask

The subnet mask specifies which IP addresses are directly reachable on the network and which ones must be routed through a gateway. For example, the IP address 10.2.3.3 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 indicates that all hosts with addresses 10.2.n.n are directly reachable.

•default gateway (optional)

The default gateway routes packets to destinations for which no specific route exists in the routing table. You can configure a default gateway when you assign the management IP address, or you can configure it at a later time.

Note: Write down and save the management IP address. You need the IP address to configure the VPN Router 1750.
