Administrator Guide
To add and congure a subnet:
1 In the WDM Console, expand System and click the Subnet option.
2 Click Add subnet option.
3 Complete one of the following task:
• If you want to provide a broadcast address for the subnet manually, select Manually create and enter the Broadcast Address.
• If you do not want to provide a broadcast address for the subnet manually, enter the IP Address (Type a valid IP address from the
subnet), Subnet Mask (Type the subnet mask for the subnet), and Contiguous Bits (if your network uses Classless Inter-Domain
Routing or supernetting, type the number of contiguous bits to congure your subnet mask).
4 Enter a Description to identify the subnet in the WDM Database.
5 Complete one of the following task:
• If you do not want to override the global preferences for this subnet, click OK.
• (WDM Enterprise Edition only) If you want to override the global preferences for this subnet, select Override Global
Preferences, complete the subnet preferences using the following guidelines and click OK:
• Maximum Simultaneous Updates - The maximum number of device updates you can perform at the same time in the subnet.
• Wake On LAN Time Out (Secs.) - The length of time WDM attempts to wake a device on the subnet before stopping.
• Network Card Speed - This eld is valid only in case of Merlin. It denes the network card speed. The possible values are
Auto, 100M-F, 100M-H.
The information about the subnet and its preferences are now stored in the WDM Database and WDM can discover the devices on the
subnet.
NOTE: Subnet should match with the contiguous bits provided.
Registering Remote Repositories
WDM Enterprise Edition allows you to install multiple repositories on your network. Remote Repositories help save network bandwidth
because they store and distribute software updates locally to devices that reside in the same subnet as each repository.
