Description
• IP address – IP address of the physical ethernet port.
• Subnet mask – 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, you must
make sure that the MTU of each port in the OSPF link
matches.
• Function – The port's function.
> Host Port – A port for connecting Wireless APs with no
dynamic routing.
> Third-party AP Port – A port to which the third-party AP
is connected.
> Router Port – A port that connects to an upstream,
next-hop router in the network.
• VLAN ID – The ID of the VLAN to which the AP is
connected.
Static IP address – The static IP address that is assigned to
the Summit WM Controller when it is configured for static
routing.
• Router ID – The router ID is its own IP address.
• Area ID of OSPF – Id of OSPF's area. 0.0.0.0. is the main
area in OSPF.
• OSPF Authentication Password – If you select
Authentication type as Password, then you will need a
password.
• IP address range – This is the range from which the IP
address will be distributed across the network.
> Start IP address – This is the start IP address of the
range.
> End IP address – This is the end IP address of the
range.
• Lease duration – The DHCP server assigns a client an IP
address for a given amount of time. The amount of time
for which the IP address can be given is called lease
duration.
> Days – The number of days for which the lease can be
given.
> Hours – The number of hours for which the lease can
be given.
> Minutes – The number of minutes for which the lease
can be given.
