Wireless LAN Array
Configuring the XS-3900 63
6. Configure the Fast Ethernet, Gigabit 1 and Gigabit 2 network interfaces.
The fields for each of these interfaces are the same, and include:
a. MAC Address: This field displays the hardware MAC address for the
network interface and cannot be changed.
b. Enable Interface: Choose Yes to enable this network interface, or
choose No to disable the interface.
c. Allow Management on Interface: Choose Yes to allow management
of the array via this network interface, or choose No to deny all
management privileges for this interface.
d. Configuration Server Protocol: Choose DHCP to instruct the array
to use DHCP to assign IP addresses to the array’s Ethernet interfaces,
or choose Static IP if you intend to enter IP addresses manually. If
you choose the Static IP option, you must enter the following
information:
z IP Address: Enter a valid IP address for this array. To use
any of the remote connections (Web, SNMP, or SSH), a valid
IP address must be used.
z IP Subnet Mask: Enter a valid IP address for the subnet
mask (the default is 255.255.255.0). The subnet mask defines
the number of IP addresses that are available on the routed
subnet where the array is located.
z Default Gateway: Enter a valid IP address for the default
gateway. This is the IP address of the router that the array
uses to forward data to other networks.
7. SSID (Wireless Network Name): Enter a unique SSID, up to 32
characters. The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a unique name that
identifies a wireless network. All devices attempting to connect to a
specific WLAN must use the same SSID. The default is “xirrus.”
For additional information about SSIDs, go to the Multiple SSIDs section
of “Frequently Asked Questions” on page 186.
