Configuring the LAN interface
5
A trunk port configured with 802.1Q tagging can receive both tagged and untagged traffic. By
default, the access point forwards untagged traffic with the native VLAN configured for the
port. The Native VLAN is VLAN 1 by default. Brocade suggests leaving the Native VLAN set to 1
as other layer 2 devices also have their Native VLAN set to 1.
10. Use the LAN drop-down menu to map one of the two LANs to the WLAN listed to the left. With
this assignment, the WLAN uses this assigned LAN interface.
11. Select the Dynamic check boxes (under the Mode column) to configure the VLAN mapping as a
dynamic VLAN.
Using Dynamic VLAN assignments, a VMPS (VLAN Management Policy Server) dynamically
assigns VLAN ports. The Mobility 5181 Access Point uses a separate server as a VMPS server.
When a frame arrives on the Mobility 5181 Access Point, it queries the VMPS for the VLAN
assignment based on the source MAC address of the arriving frame.
If statically mapping VLANs, leave the Dynamic check box specific to the target WLAN and its
intended VLAN unselected. The administrator is then required to configure VLAN memberships
manually.
The Dynamic check box is enabled only when a WLAN is having EAP configured. Otherwise, the
check box is disabled.
12. Use the VLAN drop-down menu to select the name of the target VLAN to map to the WLAN
listed on the left-hand side of the screen.
Brocade recommends mapping VLANs strategically in order to keep VLANs tied to the
discipline they most closely match. For example, If WLAN1 is comprised of Clients supporting
the sales area, then WLAN1 should be mapped to sales if a sales VLAN has been already been
created.
13. Click Apply to return to the VLAN Name screen. Click OK to return to the LAN screen. Once at
the LAN screen, click Apply to re-apply your changes.
Configuring LAN1 and LAN2 settings
Both LAN1 and LAN2 have separate sub-screens to configure the DHCP settings used by the LAN1
and LAN2 interfaces. Within each LAN screen is a button to access a sub-screen to configure
advanced DHCP settings for that LAN. For more information, see
on page 99. Additionally, LAN1 and LAN2 each have separate Type Filter submenu
items used to prevent specific (an potentially unneccesary) frames from being processed, for more
information, see
“Setting the type filter configuration”
To configure unique settings for either LAN1 or LAN2:
1. Select Network Configuration -> LAN -> LAN1 (or LAN2) from the Mobility 5181 Access Point
menu tree.
2. Configure the DHCP Configuration field to define the DHCP settings used for the LAN.
NOTE
Brocade recommends the WAN and LAN ports should not both be configured as DHCP clients.
