Step 5: Configure Subnet1

The WS2000 Network Management System allows the administrator to define and refine the configuration
of the enabled subnets. Each of four subnets (short for "subnetworks") can be configured as an identifiably
separate part of the switch-managed local area network (LAN). Each subnet can include some combination
of assigned ports and associated wireless LANs (WLANs).
1. Select Network Configuration
appears for the selected subnet.
2. Check to make sure that all the ports and WLAN1 are selected for this subnet. WLAN1 should
automatically be included if the switch and the Access Port are communicating properly. If WLAN1 is not
present in the list, check the following:
• The power to the Access Port
• The connections between the switch and the Access Port
• The LEDs to make sure that lights are on and flashing
3. For this initial configuration, ensure that
sets the IP addresses automatically for the mobile devices. This value can be changed at any time in the
future. All other default settings are fine for the system test.
DHCP is a protocol that includes mechanisms for IP address allocation and delivery of host-specific
configuration parameters from a DHCP server to a host. Some of these parameters are IP address,
network mask, and gateway. The switch includes internal DHCP server and client features, and the
subnet's interface can use either capability.
