The rest of the information on this screen is summary information. It is collected from other screens (such as
the subnet configuration screens) where the administrator can set the data.
Network Network
WS2000 Network Management System uses subnet names throughout the configurations screens.
Address This IP address allows users from outside the subnet (whether from the WAN or from another
subnet from the same switch) to access the right subnet. An IP address uses a series of four
numbers that are expressed in dot notation, for example, 194.182.1.1.
Interfaces The
The possible ports are:

to that port. The administrator can assign a port to only one subnet.

3.2 Configuring Subnets

The WS2000 Network Management System allows the administrator to define and refine the configuration
of the enabled subnets. Each of the six subnets (short for "subnetworks") can be configured as an identifiably
separate part of the switch-managed Local Area Network (LAN). Each subnet can include some combination
of assigned ports and associated Wireless LANs (WLANs). To configure an enabled subnet, select the subnet
name from the [Network Configuration]
selected subnet.
(subnet) name is a descriptive string that should describe the subnet's function. The
Interfaces field displays which of the six physical LAN ports are associated with the subnet.
P1 (port 1), P2, P3, P4, P5, and
Interfaces field also lists the WLANs that are associated with the subnet.
