Figure 6.75 Creating an Ethernet Port Policy—Naming the Policy (and Optionally, Choosing a Template)
2. Enter a name and description for the new Ethernet Port Policy, then if desired, select Use an existing
Ethernet Policy as a template.
3. Click Next. A panel for specifying VLAN support is displayed
VLANs are virtual LANs that can support the wireless side of the network. The VLANs for the two
Ethernet ports are specified in separate tabs (ethernet1 tab, ethernet2 tab); otherwise, the contents of
the two tabs are the same. Specify a VLAN, based on the following available options:
• To force a discovery of any existing VLANs, click VLAN Discovery... If any appear, they can then
be selected from the discovery list and added to the Ethernet Port Policy.
• To manually add a new VLAN to the Ethernet policy, click Add and fill in the VLAN ID, Priority, and
Subnet fields.
The Priority setting is relative to other priorities. The greater the priority value, the greater service
that VLAN gets. If this is the Primary VLAN for the port, click the Primary radio button.
Note Before configuring an Ethernet policy, the administrator must determine if
either of the ports are to be configured as "trunk ports". If so, they must be
configured on the switch first. Otherwise, the Ethernet policy configuration will not
allow VLAN discovery or mapping of WLANs to VLANs.
