Wireless Array
202 Configuring the Wireless Array
Procedure for Managing VLANs
1. Default Route: This option sets a default route from the Array. The Array
supports a default route on native and tagged interfaces. Once the default
route is configured the Array will attempt to use Address Resolution
Protocol (ARP) to find the default router. ARP finds the MAC address of a
device with a given IP address by sending out a broadcast message
requesting this information. This option allows you to choose a default
VLAN route from the pull-down list. The IP Gateway must be established
for this function to work. After changing the Default Route, you must
click Save changes to flash and then reboot.
2. Native VLAN: This option sets whether the Array management is tagged
or untagged. If you select a Native VLAN, then that VLAN will use an
untagged (Native) link. Otherwise, the Array will use 802.1Q tagging and
a specific VLAN ID with management enabled for management of the
Array.
3. New VLAN Name/Number: Enter a name and number for the new
VLAN in this field, then click on the Create button. The new VLAN is
added to the list.
4. VLAN Number: Enter a number for this VLAN (1-4094).
5. Management: Check this box to allow management over this VLAN.
6. Xirrus Roaming: Check this box to allow roaming over this VLAN.
7. DHCP: Check this box if you want the DHCP server to assign the IP
address, subnet mask and gateway address to the VLAN automatically,
otherwise you must go to the next step and assign these parameters
manually.
8. IP Address: If the DHCP option is disabled, enter a valid IP address for
this VLAN association.
9. Subnet Mask: If the DHCP option is disabled, enter the subnet mask IP
address for this VLAN association.
