Displaying the services interface

5

1. Select Services from the main menu tree.

2. Refer to the Services Summary field for the following information relating to configurable

values within the Services main menu item.

DHCP Servers

Displays whether DHCP is enabled and the current configuration. For information
on configuring DHCP Server support, see

“DHCP server settings”

on page 237.

NTP Time Management

Displays whether time management is currently enabled or disabled. Network
Time Protocol
(NTP) manages time and/or network clock synchronization within
the switch managed network. NTP is a client/server implementation.

Redundancy Service

Displays whether Redundancy is currently enabled or disabled. One or more
switches can be configured as members of a redundancy group to significantly
reduce the chance of a disruption in service to WLANs and associated MUs in the
event of failure of a switch or intermediate network failure. For more information,
see

“Configuring switch redundancy & clustering”

on page 269.

Layer 3 Mobility

Displays whether Layer 3 Mobility is currently enabled or disabled. Layer 3 mobility
is a mechanism which enables a MU to maintain the same Layer 3 address while
roaming throughout a multi-VLAN network. This enables the transparent routing of
IP datagrams to MUs during their movement, so data sessions can be initiated
while they roam (in for voice applications in particular). Layer 3 mobility enables
TCP/UDP sessions to be maintained in spite of roaming among different IP
subnets. For more information on configuring Layer 3 Mobility, see

“Layer 3

Mobility”

on page 281.

Self Healing

Displays whether Self Healing is currently enabled. Self healing enables radios to
take action when one or more radios fail. To enable the feature, the user must
specify radio neighbors that would self heal if a neighbor goes down. The neighbor
radios do not have to be of the same type. An 11bg radio can be the neighbor of a
11a radio and either of them can self heal when one fails. For information on
configuring self healing, see

“Configuring self healing”

on page 288.
