WS 2000 Wireless Switch System Reference Guide3-2
Enabling Subnets for the LAN Interface
The WS 2000 Wireless Switch allows the administrator to enable and configure four different subnets. The administrator
can assign a IP address, port associations, DHCP settings, and security settings for each subnet. This System Reference
provides two case studies that demonstrate how requirements for network access and capabilities drive the decisions of
how to configure the subnets.
Defining Subnets
Select LAN under the Network Configuration group from the left menu. Use the LAN configuration screen to view a
summary of physical-port addresses and Wireless LANs (WLANs) associated with the four supported subnets, and to enable
or disable each configured subnet.
1. Check the box to the left of a subnet to enable that subnet. Up to four subnets can be enabled to use the wired and/or
wireless connections of the switch-managed LAN. Enable multiple subnets to divide the communications of different
business areas or operations. Each enabled subnet shows up in the directory tree in the left column of the configuration
screens. Consider disabling a previously configured subnet if its assigned ports are no longer in use, or to consolidate
the LAN’s communications on fewer subnets.
2. Click Apply to save changes. All “unapplied” changes are lost when the administrator moves to a new screen.
The rest of the information on this screen is summary information. It is collected from other screens (such as the subnet
configuration screens) where the administrator can set the data.
