WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch Software Administration Manual

Figure 5-4

The General configuration in the Advanced WLAN pages allows you to configure the following settings:

•LMS IP and Backup LMS IP. Specifies the local management switch (LMS) that the AP uses in multi-switch networks. The LMS is responsible for terminating user traffic from the APs, processing it, and forwarding it to the wired network. An AP can boot up from any WFS709TP on the WLAN network (in a setup with master and local WFS709TPs), if all of the WFS709TPs are on the same VLAN and if load balancing is enabled on the WFS709TP. To force the AP to boot with a particular WFS709TP, configure the LMS IP with the address of the desired WFS709TP.

When using redundant switches as the LMS, set this parameter to be the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) IP address to ensure that APs always have an active IP address with which to terminate sessions.

•Tunnel MTU. Maximum transmission unit (MTU) size of the wired link for the AP. If no value is specified, the MTU size is negotiated.
