69 69  *** Once the processor is assigned an IP address, connect to it via Text Console at the assigned IP address
70 70  *** Run the above commands to disable DHCP and assign a static IP address to the processor
71 71  * For processors with a Control Subnet (CP3N/AV3/PRO3/CP4N/AV4/PRO4), there are some additional considerations and setup that must be performed: 
72 -** Never connect an external router to the Control Subnet, as doing so will cause the internal DHCP server to shut down.
72 +** **Never **connect an external router to the Control Subnet, as doing so will cause the internal DHCP server to shut down.
73 +** **Never **set the LAN IP address to an address that is in the range of the Control Subnet
74 +*** e.g. for a processor with the default 172.22.0.0/20 Control Subnet configuration, the LAN IP address must be below 172.22.0.0 or above 172.22.15.255
75 +** **Always** set devices on the Control Subnet to DHCP so that their IP addresses are managed by the built-in DHCP server. Only set static IP addresses on the Control Subnet if you really know what you are doing.
76 +*** If setting static IP addresses on the Control Subnet for any reason: **always** assign an address within the Control Subnet range, but **never** use the first two or the last address in the range
77 +*** e.g. for a processor with the default 172.22.0.0/20 Control Subnet configuration, IP addresses must be in the range 172.22.0.3 through 172.22.15.254
78 +**** 172.22.0.0 is not a valid address, 172.22.0.1 is taken by the processor, 172.22.0.2 is taken by the DHCP server (default gateway), and 172.22.15.255 is the broadcast address for the Control Subnet
73 73  ** Connect to the processor via Text Console and run the command: ##startprogafterrouter on##
74 74  *** This will force the processor to wait until the router has started before attempting to load the ShowRunnerCLC™ program, avoiding potential license validation issues if the processor boots up before the router.
75 75  *** ShowRunnerCLC™ .puf versions 3.042 and newer automatically run this command when the "Configure Processor with Router" option is selected.
