5.2.5.2 Virtual Interface Configuration
Profile Interface Configuration
A Virtual Interface is required for layer 3 (IP) access to provide layer 3 service on a VLAN. The Virtual Interface defines which
IP address is associated with each VLAN ID the access point is connected to. A Virtual Interface is created for the default VLAN
(VLAN 1) to enable remote administration. A Virtual Interface is also used to map VLANs to IP address ranges. This mapping
determines the destination networks for routing.
To review existing Virtual Interface configurations and either create a new Virtual Interface configuration, modify an existing
configuration or delete an existing configuration:
1. Select the Configuration tab from the Web UI.
2. Select Devices.
3. Select System Profile from the options on left-hand side of the UI.
4. Expand the Interface menu and select Virtual Interfaces.
