f. If using the static or DHCP Server option, enter the Primary DNS Server numerical IP
address.
g. If using the DHCP Server option, use the Address Assignment Range parameter to specify
a range of IP address reserved for mapping clients to IP addresses. If a manually (static)
mapped IP address is within the IP address range specified, that IP address could still be
assigned to another client. To avoid this, ensure all statically mapped IP addresses are
outside of the IP address range assigned to the DHCP server.
For additional Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point LAN port configuration options, see
“Configuring the LAN interface” on page 99.
7. Select the WLAN #1 tab (WLANs 1 - 4 are available within the Quick Setup screen) to define its
ESSID and security scheme for basic operation.
NOTE
A maximum of 16 WLANs are configurable within the Wireless Configuration screen. The
limitation of 16 WLANs.
a. Enter the Extended Services Set Identification (ESSID) and name associated with the
WLAN. For additional information on creating and editing up to 16 WLANs per Brocade
Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point, see
“Creating/editing individual WLANs” on page 121.
b. Use the Available On checkboxes to define whether the target WLAN is operating in the 2.4
or 5 GHz radio band. Ensure the radio selected has been enabled (see step 8).
8. Once the WLAN’s radio designations have been made, the radio must be configured in respect
to intended 2.4 or 5 GHz radio traffic and the antennas used. Refer to
Network Configuration -> Wireless -> Radio Configuration -> Radio1 (or Radio2), and configure
the Radio Settings field (at a minimum). If you know the radio’s Properties, Performance and
Beacon Settings, those fields can also be defined at this time.
Define the Channel Settings, Power Level and 802.11 mode in respect to the 2.4 or 5 GHz
802.11b/g/n or 802.11a/n radio traffic and anticipated gain of the antennas.
CAUTION
Only a qualified wireless network administrator should set the access point radio configuration.
Refer to
“Configuring the 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n radio” on page 142 for an understanding of
additional radio values and their implications.
NOTE
Even an access point configured with minimal values must protect its data against theft and
corruption. A security policy should be configured for WLAN1 as part of the basic configuration
outlined in this guide. A security policy can be configured for the WLAN from within the Quick
Setup screen. Policies can be defined over time and saved to be used as needed as security
requirements change. Brocade recommends you familiarize yourself with the security options
available on the access point before defining a security policy. Refer to
“Configuring basic
WLAN security settings” on page 50.
9. Click Apply to save any changes to the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point Quick Setup
