LAN port configuration
The LAN port is used to connect the service controller to a wired network. To verify and
possibly adjust LAN port configuration, select Service Controller >> Network > Ports >
LAN port.
Addressing options
The LAN port must be configured with a static IP address, because the service controller
cannot function as a DHCP client on the LAN port. By default it is set to the address
192.168.1.1
For information on configuring address allocation on the LAN port via DHCP server or DHCP
relay agent, see Address allocation on page 10-6.
Management address
Use this option to assign a second IP address to the LAN port. When working with
autonomous APs, this address provides a simple way to separate management traffic from
user traffic without using VLANs.
For example, by default the LAN port is set to 192.168.1.1 and all client devices obtain an
address on this subnet from the service controller DHCP server. With this feature you can
add another address, say 192.168.2.1/255.255.255.0. Autonomous APs can then be assigned to
this subnet using static IP addressing. Now all management traffic exchanged between the
service controller and the APs is on a separate subnet.
Note To use this address to access the management tool via the LAN port you will be required to
log in via the public access interface first.
Link settings
By default, the service controller automatically adjusts link settings based on the type of
equipment the port is connected to. If needed, you can force the port to operate at a
particular speed or duplex setting.
