Networks

Configure network services that bind a wireless LAN service (WLANS) to a default role. Roles are
typically bound to topologies. Applying roles assigns user traffic to the corresponding network point of
attachment, and the WLANS handles authentication and QoS for the network. Network configuration
involves the following tasks:
•
Defining SSID and privacy settings for the wireless link.
•
Configuring the method of credential authentication for wireless users (Open/WPAv2 with PSK/
WPAv2 Enterprise w/ RADIUS).
To add a network, go to Configure > Networks > Add.
ExtremeCloud Appliance User Guide for version 4.36.03
Description
Indicates the priority of the switch in a Spanning Tree network
configuration to determine the Root Bridge Switch. All switches are
assigned a Bridge Priority. The Bridge Priority plus the Mac Address
determine the Switch ID. The lower the numerical value of the Switch
ID, the more likely the switch is the Root Bridge (switch).
All switches in your network can be assigned the same default Bridge
Priority. If this is the case, the switch Mac Address decides which
switch is the Root Bridge Switch.
Enable snooping of Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
network traffic to provide a method for intelligently forwarding
multicast packets within a Layer 2 broadcast domain. By snooping the
IGMP registration information, the device forms a distribution list that
determines which end stations receive packets with a specific
multicast address. Layer 2 switches listen for IGMP messages and build
mapping tables and associated forwarding filters. IGMP snooping also
reduces IGMP protocol traffic. Default: Disabled
Enable or disable MSTP configuration for the site from the Site Switch
tab. Port MSTP configuration is set based on port function (AP, Host,
Inter-switch and Other).
VLAN configuration is based on Switch port function:
•
AP — All the tagged and untagged VLANS are configured for the
AP's device group.
•
Host — Administrator configurable. The Administrator can
configure any of the VLANs that are configured in the system.
•
Other — Default setting. Typically configures port to VLAN 1, but
this is configurable for all VLAN(s) that are configured on
ExtremeCloud Appliance.
•
Interswitch — All tagged and untagged VLANS are configured for
all AP device groups that are serviced by the switch, along with all
of the VLANS used by the host and other port types.
You can configure SNMP for the individual switch or for the full
ExtremeCloud Appliance. For more information, see
Configuration on page 199.
