ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC7600
System Planning Concepts
This section includes the following subsections:
• Preinstallation Planning
• Before You Configure a Wireless Controller
Preinstallation Planning
Before you install any wireless controllers, determine the following:
• Number of access points required to provide seamless coverage
• Number of licenses required to cover all access points that must be managed
• Number of wireless controllers required
• 802.11 frequency band and the channels that are optimal for WiFi usage
NETGEAR recommends that you perform a site survey:
• To determine the current RF behavior and detect both 802.11 and non-802.11 noise, run
a spectrum analysis of the channels of the site.
• To determine the maximum throughput that is achievable on the client, run an access
point-to-client connectivity test.
• Identify potential RF obstructions and interference sources.
• Determine areas where denser coverage might be required because of heavier usage.
Before You Configure a Wireless Controller
These sections assume that you have deployed at least one wireless controller in your
network and are ready to configure the wireless controller. For information about how to
deploy the wireless controller in your network, see the ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC7600
Installation Guide that you can download from
http://support.netgear.com/product/WC7600.
For many configurations, you can use the default wireless settings. The IP address, VLAN,
DHCP server, client authentication, and data encryption settings are specific to your
environment. Following are short sections that describe these settings (except for IP address
settings, which are self-explanatory). For information about how to configure these settings,
see the relevant sections.
Management VLAN
The management VLAN is the dedicated VLAN for access to the wireless controller. All traffic
that is directed to the wireless controller, including HTTP, HTTPS, SNMP, and SSH traffic, is
carried over the management VLAN.
If the management VLAN is also configured as a tagged VLAN (the most common
configuration), the packets to and from the wireless controller carry the 802.1Q VLAN header
with the assigned VLAN number. If the management VLAN is marked as untagged, the
packets that are sent from the wireless controller do not carry the 802.1Q header, and all
