LAN/Subnet Configuration 3-3
To change features of a subnet select Network Configuration --> LAN --> <subnet name> from the menu on the left.
Configuring Subnets
The WS 2000 Network Management System allows the administrator to define and refine the configuration of the enabled
subnets. Each of three subnets (short for “subnetworks”) can be configured as an identifiably separate part of the switch-
managed Local Area Network (LAN). Each subnet can include some combination of assigned ports and associated Wireless
LANs (WLANs).To configure an enabled subnet, select the subnet name from the Network Configuration --> LAN list in
the left. The following screen appears for the selected subnet.
1. Change the Name of the subnet to use a descriptive name that indicates something about the subnet. The name can
contain seven characters, including spaces and numbers. It will appear in the left menu under the LAN menu item.
Network
Network (subnet) name is a descriptive string that should describe the subnet’s function. The WS 2000
Network Management System uses subnet names throughout the configurations screens.
Address
This IP address allows users from outside the subnet (whether from the WAN or from another subnet
from the same switch) to access the right subnet. An IP address uses a series of four numbers that are
expressed in dot notation, for example, 194.182.1.1.
Interfaces
The Interfaces field displays which of the six physical LAN ports are associated with the subnet. The
possible ports are: P1 (port 1), P2, P3, P4, P5, and P6 (from left to right facing the front of the switch).
The administrator assigns a port to a subnet to enable access to the device(s) connected to that port. The
administrator can assign a port to only one subnet.
The Interfaces field also lists the WLANs that are associated with the subnet.
