MergePoint Service Processor Manager SP53XX Installer/User Guide
To limit which IP address can create Native IP connections, administrators can specify IP
addresses in a Native IP trust. The IP addresses within the trusts are permitted to create Native
IP connections to some or all service processors.
• Administrators set up Native IP connections, which are permanent outbound connections that
allow service processors to directly connect to specific trusted IP addresses. If Selective mode
is not enabled, each IP address should be included in at least one Native IP trust.
Additionally, users with appropriate access rights may establish temporary, individual IP trusts
from their workstations to a specific service processor. Temporary trusts are automatically
disabled once the web session ends.
• Add a route or set the MergePoint SP manager IP address as the default gateway for the host.
