Configuring VLANs 193

„Forward database aging timeout

The aging timeout period specifies how long a dynamic entry can remain unused before the software removes the entry from the database.

To configure VLAN basic properties

1Access the WX Switch wizard for the WX switch. (See “Accessing the WX Switch Wizard” on page 187.)

2Select System and Administrative at the top of the wizard, if not already selected.

3Select VLANs from the organizer list on the left side of the page, if not already selected.

4Do one of the following:

„To create a new VLAN, click New VLAN. The Create VLAN wizard appears. Go to step 5.

„To modify an existing VLAN, select the VLAN, then click Modify. The Modify VLAN wizard appears. (This is the same as the Create VLAN wizard, except for the title and the configured values for the VLAN.) Go to step 5.

„To delete a VLAN, select the VLAN, then click Delete. Click Finish at the bottom of the Delete Objects dialog box that is displayed.

5In the VLAN ID box, specify a VLAN number (2 to 4095). The VLAN number must be unique on a particular WX.

6In the VLAN Name box, type the name of the VLAN (1 to 16 alphabetic characters long, with no numbers, spaces, or tabs).

7In the Tunnel Affinity box, specify the numeric value (1 to 10) that each WX in a Mobility Domain advertises for each of its VLANs. The default is 5.

A higher tunnel affinity indicates a greater preference.

8In the IP Address box, specify the IP address and subnet mask in classless interdomain routing (CIDR) notation (for example, 10.10.10.10/16).

If you are creating a VLAN for a domain policy, this option is not available.

9To enable IP on the VLAN, select IP State. To disable this option, clear IP State. By default, this option is disabled.
