Figure 1-4 VNS as a Binding of Reusable Components
WLAN Service components and Policy components can be configured separately and associated
with a VNS when the VNS is created or modified. Alternatively, they can be configured during the
process of creating a VNS.
When VNS components are set up on the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller, among other things, a
range of IP addresses is set aside for the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller’s DHCP server to assign
to wireless devices.
If the OSPF routing protocol is enabled, the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller advertises the routed
topologies as reachable segments to the wired network infrastructure. The controller routes traffic
between the wireless devices and the wired network.
The SCALANCE IWLAN Controller also supports VLAN-bridged assignment for VNSs. This
allows the controller to directly bridge the set of wireless devices associated with a WLAN service
directly to a specified core VLAN.
Each SCALANCE IWLAN Controller model can support a specified number of active VNSs, as
listed below:
• WLC711 — Up to 8 VNSs
The Wireless AP radios can be assigned to each of the configured WLAN services and, therefore,
VNSs in a system. Each Wireless AP can be the subject of 16 service assignments — 8 assignments
per radio — which corresponds to the number of SSIDs it can support. Once a radio has all 8 slots
assigned, it is no longer eligible for further assignment.
