The OnBoard appliance administrator should assign a private IP address to each connected device from one of the three IP Internet address ranges that are reserved for use on internal networks
Table D.8 shows the reserved IP address ranges for internal networks.
The number of IP address available on a network may be restricted by a subnet mask. For a simple example, the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 provides 256 IP addresses. The IP address ending with zero (0) is the network address, and the IP address ending with 255 is the broadcast address, leaving 254 addresses to assign to devices (from 1-254).
To specify a range of addresses on the Cyclades OnBoard Service Processor Manager supply the network address and a subnet mask, in either of these two formats: 192.168.0.0 and 255.255.255.0
or 192.168.0.0/24.
