Location page

You can optionally use the Location page to record a reminder as to where your are
physically installing the MSM317.

Configuring the switch ports

This section explains how to configure the switch ports using the management tool on an
MSM7xx Controller. This section assumes that you are familiar with the operation of the
MSM7xx management tool. If not, see the MSM7xx Controllers Management and
Configuration Guide.

Important note regarding controller teaming

When working with a controller team, the selections that you make in the Network Tree are
different from selections on non-teamed controllers. The instructions in this guide are written
for working with non-teamed controllers. If you are working with a controller team, you need
to adjust instructions that refer to the Network Tree as follows:
Instead of selecting Controller in the Network Tree, select Team [team-name] where
[team-name] is the name assigned to the team.
For example, the following menu-selection sequence on a non-teamed controller:
Controller > Controlled APs >> Configuration > Switch ports
becomes:
Team [team-name] > Controlled APs >> Configuration > Switch ports
on a controller team. See also, Controller Teaming in the MSM7xx Controllers Management
and Configuration Guide.

Switch ports page

To reach the Switch ports page on the MSM7xx Controller, select Controller > Controlled
APs >> Configuration > Switch ports.
This page lists all supported ports on the MSM317 switch, indicates if the ports are enabled,
and lists their VLAN number (if assigned). To define settings for a port, click the port name in
the list. This opens the Port configuration page described in the next section.
Note
The MSM317 does not support STP (Spanning-Tree Protocol) on Ports 1 to 4.
