Table 57: VLAN Configuration Settings (continued)
Field
Description
CIDR
CIDR field is used along with IP address field to find the IP address range.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol allows network administrators to centrally
manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses on the corporate network.
DHCP sends a new IP address when a computer is plugged into a different place
in the network. The protocol supports static or dynamic IP addresses and can
dynamically reconfigure networks in which there are more computers than there
are available IP addresses. Valid values are:
•
Local Server. Indicates that the ExtremeCloud Appliance is used for managing
IP addresses.
•
Use Relay. Indicates that the ExtremeCloud Appliance forwards DHCP
requests to an external DHCP server on the enterprise network. DHCP relay
bypasses the local DHCP server for the ExtremeCloud Appliance and allows
the enterprise to manage IP address allocation to a site from its existing
infrastructure.
Enable Device
Registration
Indicates that the wireless AP or switch can use this port for discovery and
registration.
Mgmt Traffic

Mgmt Traffic
to
access the ExtremeCloud Appliance user interface through this port.

VLAN Advanced Setting
Configure the following parameters to optimize your network connectivity. Modifying the following
settings is optional, and should include thoughtful consideration.
Multicast
Bridging
Select this option to enable forwarding of multicast traffic (point-to-multipoint) between the wired
and wireless sides of the AP. Because multicasts consume a lot of 802.11 air time, when you enable
this option you must also specifically identify the types of multicast traffic that you want forwarded
by adding one or more rules.
Multicast
Rules
Add one or more multicast rules if you enabled
Multicast Bridging
. Multicast rules (point-to-
multipoint) permit traffic that matches the rule. A multicast rule is defined as the multicast IP
address of the traffic destination and a mask that allows a range of addresses to be matched by a
single rule. ExtremeCloud Applianceoffers a predefined set of multicast rules. Select a preset
multicast rule or define a new rule.
