Field
Description
Enable WLAN Switch
Select this option to enable WLAN switching functionality on the system. Clear the
option to administratively disable the WLAN switch.
If you clear the option, all peer switches and APs that are associated with this switch
are disassociated.
Disabling the WLAN switch does not affect non-WLAN features on the switch, such
as VLAN or functionality.
Auto IP Assign Mode
Select this option to allow the wireless feature to automatically assign itself an IP
address from one of the active interfaces. If this option is cleared, you must manually
assign the IP address in the
Switch Static IP Address
field.
WLAN Switch
Operational Status
Shows the operational status of the switch. The status can be one of the following
values:
• Enabled
• Enable-Pending
• Disabled
• Disable-Pending
If the status is pending, click
Refresh
to update the screen with the latest
information.
WLAN Switch
Disable Reason
If the status is disabled, this field is displayed, and one of the following reasons is
listed:
• None: The cause for the disabled status is unknown.
• Administrator disabled: The Enable WLAN Switch check box has been cleared.
• No IP Address: The WLAN interface does not have an IP address.
• No SSL Files: The DWS-4000 Series switch communicates with the APs it manages
by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections. The first time you power on the
DWS-4000 Series switch, it automatically generates a server certificate that will
be used to set up the SSL connections. The SSL certificate and key generation
typically completes within a few minutes.
If routing is enabled on the switch, the operational status might be disabled due to
one of the following reasons:
• No Loopback Interface: The switch does not have a loopback interface.
• Global Routing Disabled: Even if the routing mode is enabled on the WLAN switch
interface, it must also be enabled globally for the operational status to be
enabled.
