In Managed Names mode, it is assumed that the computer networks 
will be organized as clusters within the 10.x.x.x local network
structure.


Each cluster is assigned a number (c) with all sbcs in the subnet
below it.  For a given cluster, the IP addresses will be arrayed as
follows:

10.c.0.1    ->  10.c.63.255   = EPS sbc addresses (EPS1 -> EPS16383)
10.c.255.1                    = Linux file server (this machine)
10.c.255.2                    = EPS license server
10.c.255.3+                   = other


The sbc suffix number is derived from the following formula
concering 10.c.x.y:   sbcnum = (x*256) + y


The nbd_server ports in use are 10000 + sbc suffix number.  As a
result, ports 10001 -> 26384 should be considered reserved on
the Linux file server.


There will probably be a maximum number of open ports allowed on 
the linux server at any given time, and each sbc will use 2 at
minimum, one for the nfs file system (eg. /tftpboot/EPS1 -> /)
and one for the nbd-server which is the swap file for the sbc.
As we determine what the maximum cap is, the maximum value of x
in 10.c.x.y may be lowered for Autonaming mode so that this cap
is not exceeded.
