Configure VLANs
In this example, wireless clients are assigned to either VLAN 60 or 61 while guest users are assigned to VLAN 63.
VLANs 60 and 61 split users into smaller IP subnetworks, improving performance by decreasing broadcast traffic.
The VLANs are internal to the Dell controller only and do not extend into other parts of the wired network. The
clients’ default gateway is the Dell controller, which routes traffic out to the 10.1.1.0 subnetwork.
You configure the VLANs, assign IP addresses to each VLAN, and establish the “helper address” to which client
DHCP requests are forwarded.
