To view the number of in use and free SP licenses:

Click the SP tab. The Managed SP list displays how many service processors are currently

managed by the appliance and the number of remaining free licenses.

NOTE: An appliance license is also required to activate the MergePoint SP5x00 manager; see Activating the

MergePoint SP5x00 Manager License on page 15.

Automatically Manage SPs

By default, you must add newly discovered service processors to the Managed SP list before

you can access the device using the MergePoint SP manager; see Managed and Unmanaged SP

Lists (Admin users only) on page 38. However, you may configure the System Settings to

automatically add all newly discovered serviceprocessors to the Managed SPlist.

To enable automatic management of SPs:

1. Click System - Setting.

2. If you want to automatically manage DHCP devices, select Yes for the related option.

3. If you want to automatically manage devices discovered from an IP address range, select

Yes for the related option.

4. Click Apply.

Next steps:

• It's recommended to set the discovery time interval to five minutes. See Discovering and

Adding SPs (Admin Users Only) on page 34.

• If you chose to automatically manage DHCPdevices but have not configured the DHCP

service, see DHCP on the MergePoint SP Manager on page 32.

Discovering and Adding SPs (Admin Users Only)

You can configure the MergePoint SP manager web interface to discover SPs that reside on the

same LAN as the appliance by specifying up to two IP address ranges either for automatic or

manual discovery. Discovered service processors are either displayed in the Unmanaged SP list

or, if automatic management is enabled, added to the Managed SP list; see Automatically

Manage SPs on page 34. Service processors in the Unmanaged SP list can be transferred to the

Managed SP list.

You may designate up to two IP address ranges for discovery. The first time you access the SP

window, the IP address ranges for the discovery setting are blank and may be modified by

clicking Edit. You can also manually add an SP if you know its IP address.
