Getting Started

ProSafe 16 AP Wireless Management System WMS5316

• IP Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask value used on your LAN. The default value is

255.255.255.0.

• Default Gateway: Enter the IP address of the gateway for your LAN.

• Primary DNS Server: Enter the IP address of the primary Domain Name Server (DNS)

that you want to use.

• Secondary DNS Server: Enter the IP address of the secondary DNS that you want to use.

VLAN Settings

To go to VLAN settings, click the Configuration tab, and select System > Basic > VLAN

Settings.

The 802.1Q VLAN protocol on the wireless management system logically separates traffic on

the same physical network. The settings apply only to the wireless management system.

Untagged VLANs

When the Untagged VLAN check box is selected, one VLAN can be configured as an

untagged VLAN.

For each profile group up to 8 VLANS can be configured per radio, for example, a maximum

of 15 SSIDs per group for both the radios. The active VLANs depend on the active SSIDs and

access points that are deployed. If the access point is a ProSafe dual band, such as the

WNDAP350, then all 16 can be active. If it is a ProSafe single band, then only 8 SSIDs can

be active. If it is a SoHo access point, then only one SSID can be active.

The wireless management system itself can support 2 VLANs, one management VLAN and

one untagged VLAN.

When the wireless management system sends frames associated with the untagged VLAN

out the LAN (Ethernet) interface, those frames are untagged. When the wireless

management system receives untagged traffic from the LAN (Ethernet) interface, those

frames are assigned to the untagged VLAN.

If this check box is cleared, the wireless management system tags all outgoing LAN

(Ethernet) frames, and accepts only incoming frames that are tagged with known VLAN IDs.
