Basic 4700 Series Configuration

NOTE

Extreme Networks recommends the WAN and LAN ports should not both be configured as DHCP clients.

cIf the DHCP client option is not enabled, specify an IP address and subnet mask for the access point’s WAN connection. An IP address uses a series of four numbers expressed in dot notation, for example, 190.188.12.1.

dIf the DHCP client option is not enabled, specify a Default Gateway address for the access point’s WAN connection. The ISP or a network administrator provides this address.

eIf the DHCP client option is not enabled, specify the address of a Primary DNS Server. The ISP or a network administrator provides this address.

fOptionally, use the Enable PPP over Ethernet checkbox to enable Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) for a high-speed connection that supports this protocol. Most DSL providers are currently using or deploying this protocol.

PPPoE is a data-link protocol for dialup connections. PPPoE will allow the access point to use a broadband modem (DSL, cable modem, etc.) for access to high- speed data networks.

gSelect the Keep Alive checkbox to enable occasional communications over the WAN port even when client communications to the WAN are idle. Some ISPs terminate inactive connections, while others do not. In either case, enabling Keep- Alive maintains the WAN connection, even when there is no traffic. If the ISP drops the connection after the idle time, the access point automatically reestablishes the connection to the ISP.

hSpecify a Username entered when connecting to the ISP. When the Internet session begins, the ISP authenticates the username.

iSpecify a Password entered when connecting to the ISP. When the Internet session starts, the ISP authenticates the password.

6Click the LAN#1 tab to set a minimum set of parameters to use the access point LAN interface.
