n Option-43 Vendor Specific Information (VSI) with the primary master IP address, the country code, and
optionally, a secondary master IP (for deployments requiring Layer-3 redundancy). This VSI must be in one
of the following formats, where the IP address of a master switch is in dotted-decimal notation (a.b.c.d)
format or a fully qualified domain name format (master.example.com), and the country code contains a
valid ISO 3166 country codes, such as US, AU, or IN

Using Smart Config to create a Branch Config Group
Before you begin to configure a branch config group for individual branch switches, you must select a master
switch to serve as the master for a group of branch switches on a network. A switch can act either as a master
or a branch switch, but not both.
Any change to an active branch switch’s DHCP pool configuration causes the branch switch to reboot.
Only OAW-4x50 Series switches can server as a master switch for a group of branch switches on a network.
Create and configure a branch config group on a master switch by navigating to the Configuration >
BRANCH > Smart Config section of the master switch WebUI. The Smart Config page contains eight tabs for
configuring the branch config group settings.
The BRANCH >Smart Config section of the master switch WebUI is available on the OAW-4x50 Series switches
only.
The configuration parameter on each of these tabs are described in the following pages:
n Config Group Management Settings on page 233
n System Configuration on page 237
n Networking Configuration on page 240
n Routing Configuration on page 242
n VPN Configuration on page 247
n WAN Configuration on page 251
n Branch ConfigGroup Summary on page 254
n Whitelist Configuration on page 254
Config Group Management Settings
Use this tab to create a new branch config group, select the model of branch switch to which this config group
will be applied, and choose either the Static or Dynamic IP address management option for your
deployment.
Address Pools
Each branch switch must have a pool of addresses it can dynamically assign to APs or users on each of its
VLANs, and a separate IP address that branch switch uses to create a GRE tunnel to the master switch. Branch
switch VLAN pools and the tunnel pool are defined on the master switch. Branch switch address pools are
