Configuring the LAN interface

5

4. Assign a unique VLAN ID (from 1 to 4095) to each VLAN added or modified.

The VLAN ID associates a frame with a specific VLAN and provides the information the Brocade
Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point needs to process the frame across the network. Therefore, it
may be practical to assign a name to a VLAN representative or the area or type of network
traffic it represents.

A business may have offices in different locations and want to extend an internal LAN between
the locations. An Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point managed infrastructure could
provide this connectivity, but it requires VLAN numbering be managed carefully to avoid
conflicts between two VLANs with the same ID.

5. Define a 32 character maximum VLAN Name.

Enter a unique name that identifies members of the VLAN. Brocade recommends selecting the
name carefully, as the VLAN name should signify a group of clients with a common set of
requirements independent of their physical location.

6. Click Apply to save the changes to the new or modified VLAN.

7. From the LAN Configuration screen, click the WLAN Mapping button. The Mapping

Configuration screen displays.

8. Enter a Management VLAN Tag for LAN1 and LAN2.
