Step 4: Configure the LAN Interface

The first step of network configuration process is to figure out the topology of the LAN. The WS2000
Wireless Switch allows the administrator to enable and configure four different subnets. The administrator
can assign an IP address, port associations, and DHCP settings for each subnet.

Enable Subnet1

Select LAN under the Network Configuration group from the left menu. Use the LAN configuration screen to
view a summary of physical-port addresses and wireless LANs (WLANs) associated with the four supported
subnets, and to enable or disable each configured subnet.
1. In the LAN screen, the administrator can enable up to four subnets. Make sure that the check box to the
left of the Subnet1 line is enabled.
Each enabled subnet shows up in the directory tree in the left column of the configuration screens.
Consider disabling a previously configured subnet if its assigned ports are no longer in use, or to
consolidate the LAN's communications on fewer subnets.
The rest of the information on this screen is summary information; it is collected from other screens (such as
the subnet configuration screens) where the administrator can set the data.
Network Network
Network Management System uses subnet names throughout the configurations screens.
Address This IP address allows users from outside the subnet (whether from the WAN or from another subnet
from the same switch) to access the right subnet. An IP address uses a series of four numbers that are
expressed in dot notation, for example, 194.182.1.1.
Interfaces The
possible ports are: P1 (port 1), P2, P3, P4, P5, and P6 (from left to right facing the front of the switch).
The administrator assigns a port to a subnet to enable access to the device(s) connected to that port.
The administrator can assign a port to only one subnet.
The
(subnet) name is a descriptive string that should describe the subnet's function. The WS 2000
Interfaces field displays which of the six physical LAN ports are associated with the subnet. The
Interfaces field also lists the WLANs that are associated with the subnet.
