About this task
Device configuration is handled at the device template level. It is a best
practice to configure devices using a device template. However, it is possible to
override the device template settings for a specific device. To configure settings
for a specific AP, take the following steps:
Procedure
-
Go to and select the host name of the AP in the Devices
list.
-
From the Device Details left pane, select .
-
The following Device
Details display:
- Host
Name: Enter a unique host name for the device. It can
contain up to 32 characters and can include spaces.
- Description: Optional description for the device.
- Mgt0 MAC
Address: This is the Node ID and is listed on the
printed label located on each device.
- Device
Model: The hardware model of the configured device.
- Device
Function: This describes the main function of the
device. For example, AP.
- IQ
Engine: Lists the IQ Engine firmware version currently
installed on the AP.
- SNMP
Location: Enter a location name, for example headquarters,
building 1.
-
For Network Details:
- Network Policy: Select a network policy from the
drop-down list of existing policies.
- Device Template: Select a device template from
the drop-down list of existing templates, or clone an existing
template.
-
For Management Interface:
- Static Address: Select this option to enter a
static address for this interface.
- IPv4 Address: Enter the IPv4 address you
want the device to use for the mgt0 interface.
- Subnet Mask: Enter the appropriate
netmask for the subnet to which the mgt0 interface
connects.
- Default Gateway: The address through
which the device (and its connected hosts) can reach the
Internet.
- Dynamic Address Configuration (DHCP): Select this
option to have an address automatically assigned by DHCP.
- Use DHCP only to set IP Address (IPv4
only): Enable or disable this function.
- Advanced DHCP Options (IPv4 only): Select
to display or hide this section. Configure the following
settings:
- DHCP Timeout: Enter the amount of time (in
seconds)that the device waits for a response from the DHCP server before
assigning itself a static IP address. By default, the timeout for
reverting to a static address is 20 seconds. You can change the timeout
from 0 to 3600 seconds (1 hour). A timeout of 0 means that the device
continues trying to obtain network settings through DHCP
indefinitely.
- Automatically Generate IP Address Prefix:
The Extreme Networks device automatically switches to this IP
address if it cannot obtain settings through DHCP. You can also
enter an IPv6 address.
- Automatically Generate Subnet Mask: Enter
the netmask for the subnet to which the mgt0 interface
connects.
- Static Fallback IP Address: Enter the IP
address you want the device to use if it cannot contact the DHCP
server. You can also enter an IPv6 address.
- Static Fallback Subnet Mask: Enter the
appropriate netmask for the subnet to which the mgt0 interface
connects.
- Static Fallback Default Gateway: The
address through which the device (and its connected hosts) can
reach the Internet.
- Management VLAN: Enter the management VLAN for
this interface.
- Native VLAN: Enter the native VLAN for this
interface.
