Routed Data VNS | |
Gateway | Type the controller's own IP address of the topology associated with that VNS. This IP address is the default gateway for the VNS. The controller advertises this address to the wireless devices when they sign on. For routed VNSs, it corresponds to the IP address that is communicated to mobile users (in the VNS) as the default gateway for the VNS subnet. (Mobile users target the controller's interface in their effort to route packets to an external host). |
Mask | Type the appropriate subnet mask for this IP address to separate the network portion from the host portion of the address (typically 255.255.255.0). |
Enable Authentication | This option is enabled by default if the Type is 802.1x. |
Enable DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) | By default, this option is enabled for a routed data VNS. |
