Summit WM, Getting Started Guide
The lower part of the screen displays the four ethernet ports, and each MAC
address is displayed under the MAC column. The lowest part of the screen
displays the text boxes for IP address, MAC address, Subnet mask and MTU.
You can edit these values.
Note: The number of ports displayed on the Management Port Settings screen (on
the GUI) reflects the number of physical ports the Summit WM Switch has. For
example, the Summit Switches, WM2000, WM 200, and WM100 have four data ports,
and hence the Management Port Settings screen will display four ports. The Summit
Switch WM1000has two data ports, and therefore the Management Port Settings
screen will display two ports
3. To enable the port, select the checkbox under the Enable column.
Note: You must disable all the interfaces that are not in use in order to avoid routing
loops.
4. Type the following:
•
IP address – The IP address of the physical ethernet port.
•
Subnet mask – The subnet mask for the IP address, which separates the
network portion from the host portion of the address (typically
255.255.255.0)
•
MTU – The maximum transmission unit or maximum packet size for this
port. The default setting is 1500. If you change this setting, and are using
OSPF, you must make sure that the MTU of each port in the OSPF link
matches.
Note: The Summit WM Switch and Altitude AP are capable of participating in MTU
discovery. During the MTU discovery process, the Summit WM Switch and Altitude AP
automatically learn the correct MTU, and then correct their settings accordingly. If the
routed connection to an Altitude AP travels a link that imposes a lower MTU than the
configured MTU, the Summit WM Switch and Altitude AP will correct their MTU
settings
5. From the Function drop-down list, click one of the three functions.
•
Host Port – Specifies a port for connecting Altitude APs with no dynamic
routing.
•
Third-party AP Port – Specifies a port to which the third-party AP is
connected.
•
Router Port – Specifies a port that connects to an upstream, next-hop
router in the network.
6. To enable management traffic on the port, select the Mgmt checkbox.
