208CHAPTER 6: CONFIGURING WX SYSTEM PARAMETERS

VLAN names must be globally unique across a Mobility Domain to ensure the intended user connectivity as determined through authentication and authorization.

Every VLAN on a WX has a VLAN name, used for authorization purposes, and a VLAN number. VLAN numbers can vary uniquely for each WX and are not related to 802.1Q tag values even when used.

3In the VLAN ID box, specify a VLAN number (2 to 4093). The VLAN number must be unique on a particular WX.

4Click Next.

5From the list of available members, select a port or port group (if you previously created port groups).

If a port or port group is currently a member of a VLAN, the VLAN name is listed in the VLAN(s) column. To make multiple selections, press Shift (for contiguous items) or Control (for noncontiguous items) while clicking items.

6Do one of the following:

„To add a port or port group to the VLAN and remove previous VLAN membership, click Move.

Moving a port or port group could potentially affect multiple VLANs.

„To add a port or port group to the VLAN and retain previous VLAN membership, click Add.

7Click Next.

8To add an IP interface to the VLAN, do one of the following:

„Statically configure an address by editing the IP address and subnet mask (for example, 10.10.10.10/16).

„Select DHCP Client to use a DHCP server to dynamically obtain an IP address for the VLAN.

Generally, VLANs are equivalent to IP subnets. If a WX is connected to the network by only one IP subnet, the WX must have at least one VLAN configured. Optionally, each VLAN can have its own IP address. However, no two IP addresses on the switch can belong to the same IP subnet.

MSS does not support assigning a switch’s system IP address to an address received through the DHCP client. 3Com recommends that you use the DHCP client only on WXR100 switches that you plan to configure using the drop-ship method.

9Select Interface Enabled to enable the IP interface.

10Click Finish.
