Scenario Example 2: Advanced Network With Vlans And Ssids - NETGEAR ProSafe WC7520 Reference Manual

The access points and wireless controller are connected in the same subnet and use the
same IP address range that is assigned for that subnet. There are no routers between the
access points and the wireless controller. The access points are connected to a PoE switch,
which, in turn, is connected to the wireless controller. The uplink of PoE switch connects to a
Layer 3 switch or router that provides Internet access.
Provisioning the Wireless Controller
Step Configuration
1. Configure the basic system settings:
1. Configure the country code of operation.
2. Configure the IP address of wireless controller.
3. Verify that VLAN 1 is set as the management VLAN and is
marked as untagged, which is the default setting.
2. Configure the basic wireless settings and security:
1. Configure an SSID for wireless access.
2. Configure the network authentication and data encryption.
3. Configure the encryption.
3. Use any port of the wireless controller to connect the wireless
PoE switch.
4. Deploy the access points and connect them to the same wireless
PoE switch.
5. Run the Discovery Wizard, select the network layout, and select
the access points that you want to be managed by the wireless
controller.
Note: By default, all access points are added to the basic group
and all settings from the basic group (profile definition, client
authentication, authentication settings, and wireless QoS) are
applied to the access points.

Scenario Example 2: Advanced Network with VLANs and SSIDs

The following sample scenario consists of an advanced network with a wireless controller,
PoE switch, Layer 3 switch or router, access points, and several VLANs and SSIDs. These
are the VLANs in the wireless controller system:
• VLAN 1, the default untagged VLAN to access the wireless controller
• VLAN 10, a tagged client VLAN
• VLAN 20, another tagged client VLAN
• VLAN 100, a tagged management VLAN
