The Subnets that are known to HPCA are displayed on the Subnets tab. HPCA Agents communicate their subnet configuration during client connections, enabling the Subnets in your environment to be automatically detected and displayed on the Subnets tab. Subnets can also be manually created, as described in Create a New Subnet.
Subnets are subdivisions of the IP network space and contain a network address and subnet mask. Subnets can be created using IPv4 or IPv6. In HPCA, Subnets are often represented in Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation. In CIDR notation, the previous example would be displayed as 192.168.1.0/24. Every HPCA Subnet is assigned to a single Location; typically a Location will serve multiple Subnets. For example, you might group together many Colorado Subnets into a Colorado Location. Devices that belong to a particular Subnet will contact the Servers and Server Pools associated with the Subnet's assigned Location to resolve policy and retrieve data.
The Subnets tab displays details such as name and description of the subnet, assigned location, number of devices available on the subnet, and total number of usable hosts. For an IPv6 subnet, the total number of usable hosts is shown zero. The Subnets tab also allows you to view and edit Subnet properties, create and delete Subnets, and assign Subnets to Locations.
You can use the toolbar buttons on the Subnets tab to add and remove Subnets.
