Configuring the Local Network
Quantum Spark 1500, 1600 and 1800 Appliance Series R80.20.40 Locally Managed Administration Guide | 78
1. In
Switch Configuration
, select or clear the interfaces you want to be part of the switch. The table
shows you which interfaces are already part of the switch (shown with checkmarks in the table) and
which interfaces are not assigned yet and can be added to the switch (empty checkboxes in the
table). For example, if LAN8 is already part of another switch, it does not show in this table.
2. From
Assigned to
, select an option:
n
Unassigned
- The switch is not part of any network and cannot be used
n
Separate network
- When you select a separate network, configure the settings for the switch
n
Monitor Mode
- See
"Monitor Mode" on the next page
3. Choose the
IP address
and
Subnet mask
the switch uses.
4.
Use Hotspot
- Select this checkbox to redirect users to the Hotspot portal before allowing access
from this interface.
You define the Hotspot configuration in the
Device
>
Hotspot
page.
5. In
DHCP Server
:
Select one of the options:
n
Enabled
- Enter the
IP address range
and if necessary the
IP address exclude range
. The
appliance's own IP address is automatically excluded from this range. You can also exclude or
reserve specified IP addresses if you define network objects in the
Users & Objects
>
Network
Objects
page. To reserve specified IP addresses, you must have the device MAC address.
n
Relay
- Enter the DHCP server IP address.
n
Disabled
IPv6 Auto Assignment for IPv6 configurations
n
SLAAC (Stateless Address Autoconfiguration)
- The host selects its own full IPv6 address after it
receives the IPv6 address prefix from the gateway. The appliance cannot reserve an IPv6 address for
a specific host (Mac Address).
Note
- The common use case is a prefix length of 64. If you change it from 64, make sure the internal
hosts support the new length.
n
DHCPv6 Server
- Same as the DHCPv4. You can reserve an IP address for a specified host.
n
DHCPv6 Server Relay
- Same as in IPv4.
n
Disabled (Static)
WAN as LAN
In 1570RAppliances, the two SFP ports are associated with DMZ and WAN. DMZ can already be used for
an internal-network, but WAN is reserved for internet-connections.
With this feature, you can use the WAN port, usually reserved for internet (external) connections, for LAN
(internal) connections. Some users prefer using SFP (fiber) for internal-networks (LAN), as it is more reliable
in an environment with high electrical power.
When assigned to a LAN, the WAN port can be used for any type of internal network except for a BOND
network. The WAN port (like the DMZ port), can only be used for a BOND network as part of an internet
(external) network.
The WAN as LAN feature is disabled by default.
