Procedure
1.
Create the configuration (or copy an existing one) and specify the DNS servers, as required.
2.
Create the first Port Set and save the configuration. At this point you may decide to set up Subnets for
the Port Set, or to continue to set up all required Port Sets before defining Subnets for each Port Set.
3.
Create the required Subnets for each Port Set and save the configuration.
4.
Validate the configuration.
5.
If validation fails, correct errors. If it passes, either activate immediately at the prompt. Or save the
configuration and activate subsequently from the
Custom Network Configuration List
.
TIP:
If configuring multiple VLANs, or reconfiguring a complex network, it may take several minutes
for the configuration to activate. During this time the
Current Configuration
page will show the previous configuration and will be updated once activation is complete for the
new configuration.
Step 1: Create new configuration and define DNS servers
• On the
Custom
page, click on the
New
button.
• Enter a
Config Name
. The name must be unique; spaces and special characters are not permitted but
underscore is allowed. The
Config Description
is optional. However, it is good practice to put the
configuration name into the description field because the description is copied to the
current
configuration, when the configuration is activated.
• Click
Create
. A new configuration opens for you to edit.
NOTE:
If there is an existing configuration that you wish to use as a template, select it from the
Copy
Existing
list.
• As appropriate, select
IPv4
or
IPv6
for any DNS servers and enter the required addresses in the
appropriate format. Click
Save
.
