Configuring WAN settings
5
NOTE
Brocade recommends that the WAN and LAN ports should not both be configured as DHCP
clients.
Enable WAN Interface Select the Enable WAN Interface checkbox to enable a connection
between the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point and a
larger network or outside world through the WAN port.
Disable this option to effectively isolate the Brocade Mobility
7131N-FGR Access Point’s WAN. No connections to a larger
network or the Internet are possible. MUs cannot communicate
beyond the LAN.
By default, the WAN port is static with an IP address of 10.1.1.1.
This interface is a DHCP
Client This checkbox enables DHCP for the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR
Access Point WAN connection. This is useful, if the larger
corporate network or Internet Service Provider (ISP) uses DHCP.
DHCP is a protocol that includes mechanisms for IP address
allocation and delivery of host-specific configuration parameters
from a DHCP server to a host. Some of these parameters are IP
address, network mask, and gateway.
If DHCP client mode is enabled, the other WAN IP configuration
parameters are grayed out.
IP Address Specify a numerical (non DNS name) IP address for the Brocade
Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point’s WAN connection. This address
defines the AP's presence on a larger network or on the Internet.
Obtain a static (dedicated) IP address from the ISP or network
administrator. An IP address uses a series of four numbers
expressed in dot notation, for example, 190.188.12.1.
Subnet Mask Specify a subnet mask for the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR
Access Point’s WAN connection. This number is available from the
ISP for a DSL or cable-modem connection, or from an
administrator if the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point
connects to a larger network.
A subnet mask uses a series of four numbers expressed in dot
notation (similar to an IP address). For example, 255.255.255.0 is
a valid subnet mask.
Default Gateway Specify the gateway address for the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR
Access Point’s WAN connection. The ISP or a network
administrator provides this address.
Primary DNS Server Specify the address of a primary Domain Name System (DNS)
server. The ISP or a network administrator provides this address.
A DNS server translates a domain name (for example,
www.Brocade.com) into an IP address that networks can use.
Secondary DNS Server Specify the address of a secondary DNS server if one is used. A
secondary address is recommended if the primary DNS server
goes down.
