Step 2: Configure Subnets
Field Description
Interfaces
The Interfaces field displays which of the six physical LAN ports are
associated with the subnet. The possible ports are: P1 (port 1), P2,
P3, P4, P5, and P6 (from left to right facing the front of the switch).
The administrator assigns a port to a subnet to enable access to the
device(s) connected to that port. The administrator can assign a port
to only one subnet.
The Interfaces field also lists the WLANs that are associated with the
subnet.
Step 2: Configure Subnets
The WS 2000 Network Management System allows the administrator to define and refine
the configuration of the enabled subnets. Each of three subnets (short for “subnetworks”)
can be configured as an identifiably separate part of the switch-managed Local Area
Network (LAN). Each subnet can include some combination of assigned ports and
associated Wireless LANs (WLANs).To configure an enabled subnet, select the subnet
name from the Network Configuration --> LAN list in the left. The following screen
will appear for the selected subnet.
1. Change the Name of the subnet to use a descriptive name that indicates something
about the subnet. The name can contain seven characters, including spaces and
numbers. It will appear in the left menu under the LAN menu item.
2. Set an IP address to be used for the subnet. This is how the switch will refer
specifically to this subnet. This could be a WAN address; but more likely it will be a
non-routable address. An IP address uses a series of four numbers that are expressed in
dot notation, for example, 194.182.1.1.
