Login name and password Obtained from the server’s or device’s administrator. Can be different from
the username and password pair that the user enters to access the SP
manager.
Target device group If an administrator has configured one or more target device groups, the
target device can be assigned to a target device group.
Type The type of service-processor-management protocol or type of access. The
following lists each of the defined SP and device types.
• no type
• ilo
•rsa_II

See Address configuration for target devices on page 180 for more
information about assigning the correct device type.
Data buffering Options for data buffering for the device are Yes, No or Default. Default
accepts the global setting administratively specified for all target devices.
Private subnet Used by the SP manager to communicate with target devices on the private
network. See Private Subnets and Virtual DNAT Networks on the MergePoint
5224/5240 SP Manager on page 50 and Why define private subnets? on
page 182 for more information about planning and implementing subnets and
assigning them to target devices. Private subnets can be configured in the
Web Manager on the Wizard Subnets screen or on the Network - Private
Subnets screen as described in Configuring Subnets and Virtual (DNAT)
Networks in the Wizard on page 63 and in Configuring Private Subnets and
Virtual Networks on page 106.
Target device IP address An IP address used by the SP manager to communicate with the target
device. See Preparing an addressing scheme on page 46, Address
configuration for target devices on page 180 and Options for assigning IP
addresses to target devices on page 198 for more information about
assigning IP addresses.
Virtual IP address (optional) A virtual IP address to assign to the target device, which can be used to hide
the real IP address from certain types of authorized users. Users who have
native IP access, DirectCommand, SP console or device console access
cannot be prevented from discovering the IP address of the dedicated
Ethernet port that is connected to the SP manager. Virtual addresses are
available only if a virtual network has been configured using DNAT. See Why
define virtual (DNAT) addresses? on page 192 for more information about
when virtual addresses are needed and how the administrator creates them.
