Configuring a VLAN to Connect to the Network
You must follow the instructions in this section only if you need to configure a trunk port between the controller
and another layer-2 switch (shown in "Deployment Scenario #3: APs on Multiple Different Subnets from
Controllers" on page 68).
This section shows how to use both the WebUI and CLI for the following configurations (subsequent steps show
how to use the WebUI only):
l Create a VLAN on the controller and assign it an IP address.
l Optionally, create a VLAN pool. A VLAN pool consists of two more VLAN IDs which are grouped together to
efficiently manage multi-controller networks from a single location. For example, policies and virtual application
configurations map users to different VLANs which may exist at different Dell controllers. This creates
redundancy where one controller has to back up many other Dell controllers. With the VLAN pool feature you
can control your configuration globally.
NOTE: VLAN pooling should
not
be used with static IP addresses.
l Assign to the VLAN the ports that you will use to connect the controller to the network. (For example, the
uplink ports connected to a router are usually Gigabit ports.) In the example configurations shown in this section,
a controller is connected to the network through its Gigabit Ethernet port 1/25.
