5. Make sure that users who are authorized for native IP are also authorized for
PPTP connections.
Configuring Private Subnets and Virtual Networks
By selecting the Network - Private subnets menu option, the administrative user can configure
private subnets and optional virtual (DNAT) networks, based on a predefined addressing scheme.
Deciding which addressing scheme to use is discussed in Private Subnets and Virtual DNAT
Networks on the MergePoint 5224/5240 SP Manager on page 50 and in more detail in Target
Device Configuration on page 169.
At least one subnet is needed to enable devices that are connected to the SP manager’s private
Ethernet ports to communicate on the Internet via the SP manager’s public IP address. Any number
of private subnets may be configured. Virtual networks configuration is optional.
Subnets are defined using the values described in Table 4.17 on page 51.
Virtual networks are defined using the values described in Table 4.18 on page 52.
CAUTION: Changing or deleting an existing private subnet changes the configuration of any device that was
previously configured to use that private subnet; the private subnet is removed from the device’s configuration,
and on subsequent attempts to contact the device, the SP manager tries to use the default route and fails. If
changing or deleting a private subnet, make sure to reassign all affected devices to another private subnet to
avoid making devices unavailable.
To configure a private subnet:
1. Select the Network
- Private subnets menu option.
2. Click the Add Subnet button. The Private Subnet configuration dialog appears.
3. Enter a meaningful name for the private subnet in the Private subnet name field.
4. Enter an IP address for the SP manager within the private subnet’s network address range in
the appliance side IP address field.
5. Enter a netmask for the private subnet in the Subnet netmask field.
6. Click OK.
7. Click Save and apply changes.
To configure a virtual network:
1. Select the Network
- Private subnets menu option.
2. Under Virtual Network (DNAT) configuration, enter a virtual IP address to assign to the SP
manager from the virtual network’s address range in the Address field.
3. Enter the netmask for the virtual network in the Netmask field.
4. Click Save and apply changes.
