38.6 Network Parameters

38.6.1 Basic Settings

By selecting "Network Parameters -> Basic Settings", you can configure the Access Device's connection mode and IP address.

If the device does not have an IP set, you need to connect to the Access Device using the management port to perform the settings.

If the device already has an IP configured, you can directly set it while it is connected to the network.

After configuring and saving the settings, a reboot of the Access Device is required for the changes to take effect.

Note

1. When using Bridge Mode and connecting to the network via TRUNK mode, the IP, subnet mask, and gateway configuration of the device must belong to Native VLAN or defaultVLAN.
2. After setting and saving, a reboot of the Access Device is required for the settings to take effect.

38.6.2 VLAN Settings

In Bridge Mode, if the Access Device is deployed between switches connected via TRUNK mode, and the forwarding function for blocked traffic needs to be enabled, the TRUNK function of the Access Controller must be activated.

To enable this, select "Network Parameters -> VLAN Settings", check "Enable Trunk", and add the VLAN configuration.

VLAN Configuration Details include:

Attribute Description
ID VLAN ID (VlanID)
IP Address Enter an IP address that does not conflict under the specified VLAN ID.
Subnet Mask Subnet mask for the IP address.

Note

1. When adding VLAN configurations, only VLANs other than Native VLAN or defaultVLAN can be added; doing otherwise may cause network issues.
2. When connected in TRUNK mode, the device’s IP, subnet mask, and gateway configuration must belong to Native VLAN or defaultVLAN.
3. If no manual changes are made to the switch, Native VLAN or defaultVLAN is typically VLAN 1.

38.6.3 Multi-IP Configuration

In Bridge Mode, if the Access Device is deployed between a Layer 2 switch and a Layer 3 switch, with multiple VLANs or IPs that are isolated from each other, and PCs on the Layer 2 switch are in different subnets (not VLANs), and the gateway has corresponding IPs for these subnets, then enabling the forwarding function for blocked traffic requires the Multi-IP Binding Configuration.

If the network does not match the above environment, this feature does not need to be enabled.

To enable, select "Network Parameters -> Multi-IP Configuration", toggle the "Enable Multi-IP Binding" switch to On, and add the required IP addresses to bind.

Multi-IP Binding Configuration Details include:

Attribute Description
IP Address The IP address that does not conflict within the specified subnet.
Subnet Mask The subnet mask for the IP address.

Note

When adding Multi-IP Binding configurations, do not add the IP address of the Access Device’s own subnet, as this will cause conflicts.
