Extreme Networks Summit WM User Manual page 39

4 Type the following:
IP address - The IP Address of the physical Ethernet port.
Subnet mask - The appropriate subnet mask for the IP address, which separates the network
portion from the host portion of the address (typically 255.255.255.0).
MTU - The Maximum Transmission Unit or maximum packet size for this port. The default
setting is 1500. If you change this setting and are using OSPF, be sure that the MTU of each port
in the OSPF link matches.
NOTE
If the routed connection to an AP traverses a link that imposes a lower MTU than the default 1500 bytes, the
Summit WM Controller and AP both participate in MTU discovery to automatically learn the correct MTU and
adjust their settings accordingly. At the Summit WM Controller, MTU adjustments are tracked on a per AP basis.
5 In the Function drop-down list, click one of the following:
Host Port - Specifies a port that will not participate in OSPF routing.
Third-Party AP Port - Specifies a port that will communicate with third party access points.
Router Port - Specifies a port that may participate in OSPF routing.
NOTE
For OSPF routing on a port, the port must be configured as a router port.
6 To enable management traffic, select the Mgmt checkbox. Enabling management provides access to
SNMP (v2, get), SSH, and HTTPs management interfaces.
NOTE
This option does not override the built-in protection filters on the port.
The built-in protection filters for the port, which are restrictive in the types of packets that are allowed to reach
the management plane, are extended with a set of definitions that allow for access to system management
services through that interface (SSH, SNMP, HTTPS:5825).
7 To enable the SLP protocol, select the SLP checkbox.
Altitude APs use this port for discovery and registration. Other controllers can use this port to
enable inter-controller device mobility if this port is configured to use SLP or the Summit WM
Controller is running as a manager and SLP is the discovery protocol used by the agents.
8 To enable the local DHCP Server on the Summit WM Controller, select the DHCP box. The lower
pane is populated with the DHCP's parameters.
