VLAN Configuration - Add (requires Level 10 permission)

Use the VLAN Configuration - Add page (Configuration > Wired > VLAN > Add) to create a VLAN and configure its parameters if you want to segment traffic on the network. To configure VLAN parameters:

1. In the VLAN Name box, type a  name up to 32 alphanumeric characters long without spaces.
2. In the Tag box, type the VLAN tag. The VLAN tag is an integer in the range of 1 through 4,094. You must specify a VLAN tag.
3. In the FastEthernet Interface Index box, enter the number of the interface (1 or 2; the second interface is an optional configuration).
4. In the IP address field specify the IP address assigned to the controller from this VLAN’s IP subnet.
5. Provide a Netmask IP address.

6. In the IP address default gateway field, specify the gateway the controller should use to forward packets from wireless stations using this VLAN. The Default Gateway IP address should match the default gateway IP address configured (via either DHCP or statically) on wireless stations using this VLAN.

7. In the Netmask boxes, type the subnet mask of the IP address. The subnet mask must match the subnet mask of the default gateway configured in wireless clients.
8. In the IP Address of the Default Gateway boxes, type the default gateway's IP address. This IP address is the default gateway used by the controller to route traffic from clients using this VLAN.
9. In the Override Default DHCP Server Flag list, select one of the following:
   • On: Enable use of specified DHCP server (see step 8 rather than the global DHCP server configured for the controller.
   • Off: Disable usage of specified DHCP server and return to using global DHCP server configured for the controller.
10. In the DHCP Server IP Address boxes, type the IP address of the DHCP relay server.
11. In the DHCP Relay Pass-Through list, select one of the following:
    • On: Enable use of  the pass-through DHCP server feature (default setting).
    • Off: Disable usage of the pass-through DHCP server feature.

If the DHCP server is set to the default IP address of 127.0.0.1, DHCP packets pass through without modification. No DHCP relay function is performed. Instead, the packet is copied as is. This mode of operation is the default for a fresh system.

9. Click OK.
