Configure Network and IP Address Allocation

Before you begin

Create a Network Policy and select Branch Router in the workflow.

About this task

You can allocate VLANs to subnetwork spaces, defining management, internal, and guest networks. When ExtremeCloud IQ uploads the network policy to routers with these VLANs assigned to their Ethernet ports, it also assigns the subnetwork space to those ports.

Procedure

  1. Select Add to create a new VLAN-to-subnetwork mapping.
  2. Choose Select and either choose a VLAN from the drop-down list or select New to define one.
    To add a VLAN, see Configure VLAN Settings.
  3. Choose Select to choose an existing subnetwork from the list or select New to define one.
    To add a subnetwork, see Add a Subnetwork Space.
  4. To map a VLAN to more than one subnetwork, select + and then either choose an existing subnetwork or define a new one.
    This action is helpful if your deployment expands beyond your original estimates and you need to add a new subnetwork for the additional branch sites. By keeping the VLAN the same, you can maintain the same user profile-to-VLAN relationship in your existing configuration, regardless of differing IP address spaces. ExtremeCloud IQ assigns address scopes to branch sites from the next subnetwork when it has used all of those from the first one.
  5. Select Save.
  6. Select the add icon to add IP allocation settings.
  7. Select a branch name for the router from the drop-down list.
  8. Select the serial number of this device from the drop-down list.
    The host name for the router is automatically displayed.
  9. Select a subnet entry from the dropdown list.
  10. Select Next.
