Extreme Networks Summit WM Getting Started Manual page 45

4 Type the following:
IP address – The IP address of the physical ethernet port.
●
Subnet mask – The 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.
NOTE
The Summit WM Controller and Wireless AP are capable of participating in MTU discovery. During the MTU
discovery process, the Summit WM Controller and Wireless AP automatically learn the correct MTU, and then
correct their settings accordingly. If the routed connection to an Wireless AP travels a link that imposes a lower
MTU than the configured MTU, the Summit WM Controller and Wireless AP will correct their MTU settings
5 From the Function drop-down list, click one of the three functions.
Host Port – Specifies a port for connecting Wireless APs with no dynamic routing.
●
Third-party AP Port – Specifies a port to which the third-party AP is connected.
●
Router Port – Specifies a port that connects to an upstream, next-hop router in the network.
●
6 To enable management traffic on the port, select the Mgmt checkbox.
Enabling management provides access to the Summit WM Controller through the selected port using
SNMP ("get" only), SSH and HTTPS management services.
7 To enable the SLP protocol, select the SLP checkbox.
Selecting the SLP checkbox will enable the Summit WM Controller to advertise this port to the
network for Wireless APs' discovery.
8 Select either of the two VLAN options:
Untagged: Select Untagged, if you are not using VLAN.
●
Tagged: Select Tagged, and specify the VLAN ID in the VLANID text box, if you are using
●
VLAN.
NOTE
The VLAN text boxes on the Management Port Settings screen are displayed only if you are using one of the
following models:
• Summit WM2000 Controller
• Summit WM200 Controller
• Summit WM20 Controller
9 To allow multicast support, click Enabled from the drop-down list.
When you enable the multicast support, the interface is used for relaying multicast traffic between
core and wireless devices. You must define only one port for the multicast traffic.
10 To save your changes, click Save.
11 Repeat Step 3 to Step 10 for every port that is to be enabled.
Now you should configure the routing on the Summit WM Controller. The following chapter describes
how to configure the Summit WM Controller's physical ports.
