Virtual Network configuration
This chapter discusses VNS (Virtual Network Services) configuration, including:
●
●
Assigning Wireless AP radios to a VNS
●
●
Defining accounting methods for a VNS
●
Defining RADIUS filter policy for VNSs and VNS groups
●
Configuring filtering rules for a VNS
●
●
●
Defining a VNS with no authentication
●
Defining priority level for VNS traffic
●
Configuring Quality of Service (QoS)
●
Setting up a VNS defines a virtual IP subnet for a group of wireless device users, where the
HiPath Wireless Controller acts as a default gateway to wireless devices. For each VNS, you
define its topology, authentication, accounting, RADIUS servers, filtering, multicast parameters,
privacy and policy mechanism. When you set up a new VNS, additional tabs appear only after
you save the topology.
A critical topology option to define for a VNS is the VNS type:
●
Routed VNS – User traffic is tunneled to the HiPath Wireless Controller. (This is the default
setup.)
●
Bridged at the AP VNS – User traffic is directly bridged to a VLAN at the AP network point
of access (switch port).
●
VLAN bridged VNS – User traffic is tunneled to the HiPath Wireless Controller and is
directly bridged at the controller to a specific VLAN. WIth this VNS type, mobile users
become a natural extension of a VLAN subnet.
Setting up a new VNS involves the following general steps:
●
Step one – Create a VNS name
●
Step two – Define the topology parameters
●
Step three – Configure the VNS
