Configuring a VNS
Creating a VNS Using the Wizard
SCALANCE WLC711
7-34 C79000-G8976-C260-03, 07/2012, User Guide, V8.11
Mode Click the VNS mode you want to assign:
• Routed is a VNS type where user traffic is tunneled to the
SCALANCE IWLAN Controller.
• Bridge Traffic Locally at WLC is a VNS type where user
traffic is tunneled to the SCALANCE IWLAN 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. For each Bridge Traffic Locally at WLC VNS that is
created, a VLAN needs to be specified. In addition, the network
port on which the VLAN is assigned must be configured on the
switch, and the corresponding SCALANCE IWLAN Controller
interface must match the correct VLAN.
• Bridge Traffic Locally at AP is a VNS type where user traffic
is directly bridged to a VLAN at the AP network point of access
(switch port).
Routed Data VNS
Gateway Type the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller's own IP address of the
topology associated with that VNS. This IP address is the default
gateway for the VNS. The SCALANCE IWLAN Controller
advertises this address to the wireless devices when they sign on.
For routed VNSs, it corresponds to the IP address that is
communicated to mobile users (in the VNS) as the default
gateway for the VNS subnet. (Mobile users target the SCALANCE
IWLAN Controller's interface in their effort to route packets to an
external host).
Mask Type the appropriate subnet mask for this IP address to separate
the network portion from the host portion of the address (typically
255.255.255.0).
Enable Authentication This option is enabled by default if the Type is 802.1x.
Enable DHCP By default, this option is enabled for a routed data VNS.
Bridged Traffic Locally @ AP Data VNS
Tagged Select if you want to assign this VNS to a specific VLAN.
VLAN ID Type the VLAN tag to which the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller
will be bridged for the data VNS.
Untagged Select if you want this VNS to be untagged. This option is selected
by default.
Enable Authentication If applicable, select this checkbox to enable authentication for the
new data VNS. This option is enabled by default if the Type is
802.1x.
Bridge Traffic Locally at WLC Data VNS
Interface Click the physical port that provides the access to the VLAN.
Interface IP address Type the IP address of the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller’s
interface on the VLAN.
