Configuring WiNet
The Wisdom Network (WiNet) technology helps you centrally manage a large number of scattered
network devices by using a small number of public IP addresses.
WiNet has the following benefits:
•
Integration—WiNet is integrated in network devices as a function without needing any dedicated
management device.
•
Easy to deploy—To build a WiNet, you only need to select a management device to complete
network configurations.
•
Low cost—No additional software is needed.
•
User-friendly GUI—Facilitates operations and management.
•
Plug-and-play—Displays a device in the network topology once it is connected to the network and
allows you to perform corresponding operations.
•
Easy and quick deployment of security authentication—Allows you to configure a RADIUS server
on the administrator device through simple Web configuration and to configure interfaces of
member devices for security authentication through the administrator device.
Devices in a WiNet are classified into three roles.
•
Administrator—Refers to the device serving as the WiNet management device. In a WiNet, only
the administrator is configured with a public IP address. You only need to specify one administrator
in each WiNet to configure, manage, and monitor other devices. The administrator collects
information to discover and add candidates.
•
Member—Refers to a device managed by the administrator.
•
Candidate—Refers to a WiNet-capable device that has not been added to the WiNet but its
topology information has been collected by the administrator.
