WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch Software Administration Manual
2-10 Deploying a Basic WFS709TP System
v1.0, June 2007
Configure a VLAN for Network Connection
Follow the instructions in this section only if you need to configure a trunk port between the
WFS709TP and another Layer 2 switch (as in “Deployment Scenario #3” on page 2-4).
This section shows how to use the browser interface for the following configurations:
• Create a VLAN on the WFS709TP and assign it an IP address.
• Assign to the VLAN the port or ports that you will use to connect the WFS709TP to the
network. (For example, the uplink ports that you connect to a router are usually Gigabit ports.)
• Configure the ports as trunk ports.
• Configure a default gateway for the WFS709TP.
Create the VLAN
The following configurations create VLAN 5 and assign it the IP address 10.3.22.20/24.
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Basic > Network >VLAN page.
2. Click Add to create a new VLAN.
3. On the Add New VLAN screen (Figure 2-7), enter 5 for the VLAN ID and click Apply.
Note: In the browser interface configuration pages, clicking the Apply button saves
configuration changes so they are retained after the WFS709TP is rebooted.
