17.1.2 Configuring the management IP address
The next step requires that a static TCP/IP address be allocated for the
management port of the router and that the appropriate subnet mask be known.
In this example, we use an address of 9.43.86.120 and a 255.255.255.0 subnet
mask.
If your management server is on a different subnet, you also need to know its
TCP/IP address and subnet mask to be able to configure a permanent route to it
on the router. In our case, the management server is in the same subnet, so we
do not need to do this, but an example is shown in “Permanent route” on ...
