5. Select the required Client IP assignment option — Virtual Controller assigned or Network
assigned.
If you select then
Virtual Controller assigned
The client obtains the IP address from the
Virtual Controller. The Virtual Controller
creates a private subnet and VLAN on the W-
IAP for the wireless clients.
The Virtual Controller NATs all traffic that
passes out of this interface. This setup
eliminates the need for complex VLAN and IP
address management for a multi site wireless
network. See "Virtual Controller" on page
109 for configuring the DHCP server.
Network assigned
By default, the client VLAN is assigned to the
native VLAN on the wired network.
l Default— The client obtains the IP address
in the same subnet as the W-IAPs.
l Static— Select to specify a single VLAN, a
comma separated list of VLANS, or a range
of VLANs for all clients on this network.
l Dynamic— Select to create rules for per-
user VLAN assignment. See "VLAN
Derivation Rule " on page 150 for more
information.
NOTE: Select the Static option in the Client
VLAN assignment section to configure VLAN
pooling. See "VLAN Pooling" on page 69 for
additional details.
