System Planning and Deployment Scenarios

ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC7600

Management VLAN and Data VLAN Strategies

If your network includes ten or more access points, NETGEAR recommends that you set up

at least two VLAN groups: a management VLAN group and a data VLAN group. If your

network is large, you should create a number of data VLAN groups. Setting up data VLANs

for clients allows you to:

• Segregate traffic by user category

• Create different policies such as access policies that are based on user category

3. Configure the slave wireless controllers and deploy them in the

network.

For each slave wireless controller, configure up to eight access

point profile groups, and for each access point profile in a group, do

at least the following:

1. Configure an SSID for wireless access.

Configuration > Profile > Advanced

2. Configure the network authentication and data encryption.

3. Assign the VLAN.

4. If necessary for the selected network authentication option,

configure the authentication server.

Configuration > Security >

Advanced > Authentication Server

4. Interconnect the wireless controllers that you intend to make

members of the stack. The connection must be a wired

connection but does not need to be a direct connection, that is, a

switch or router can be located in between the wireless

controllers that are part of a stack.

5. Configure the stacking group on the wireless controller that you

intend as the master controller.

Stacking > Stacking

6. Synchronize all wireless controllers that are members of the

stack.
