Symbol Technologies WS 2000 manual Defining the Subnets, Field Description

Step 1: Configure the LAN Interface

Defining the Subnets

Select LAN under the Network Configuration group from the left menu. Use the LAN configuration screen to view a summary of physical-port addresses and Wireless LANs (WLANs) associated with the three supported subnets, and to enable or disable each configured subnet.

1.In the LAN screen, the administrator can enable one, two or three subnets. Check the checkbox to the left of the subnet to enable a subnet. Up to three subnets can be enabled to use the wired and/or wireless connections of the switch-managed LAN. Enable multiple subnets to divide the communications of different business areas or operations. Each enabled subnet shows up in the directory tree in the left column of the configuration screens. Consider disabling a previously configured subnet if its assigned ports are no longer in use, or to consolidate the LAN’s communications on fewer subnets.

2.Click Apply to save changes—all “unapplied” changes are lost when the administrator moves to a new screen. 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.

Field	Description
Network	Network (subnet) name is a descriptive string that should describe the
	subnet’s function. The WS 2000 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.
