Connecting to the Snap Server for the First Time Snap Servers are preset to acquire an IP address from a DHCP server. If no DHCP server is found on the network, the Snap Server defaults to an IP address of 10.10.10.10, and you may not be able to see the server on your network. You can discover a Snap Server using either the default server name or the Snap Server Manager (SSM) utility. Use the server name method if you are installing one Snap Server on the network. Use SSM if you are installing two or more Snap Servers, or if your network does not have a DHCP server. To Connect to a Snap Server Using the Server Name This procedure requires that name resolution services (via WINS or an equivalent service) be operational. 1 Find the server name. The default server name is SNAPnnnnnn, where nnnnnn is the server number. For example, the name of a Snap Server with a server number of 610019 is SNAP610019. The server number is a unique, numerics-only string that appears on a label affixed to the inside of your Snap Server.
