VLANs
To create/edit a tag based VLAN:
You can create a new VLAN only if you have at least one physical interface that is not part of
an existing network (switch or bridge).
Note - For more information on the maximum number of VLANs that you can
configure for each appliance, refer to
sk113247
Configure the fields in the tabs:
The 'Configuration' tab
n
VLAN ID - Enter a number that is the virtual identifier.
n
Assigned to - Select the physical interface where the new virtual network is created.
n
IP address
n
Subnet mask
n
Use Hotspot - Select this checkbox to redirect users to the Hotspot portal before
allowing access from this interface.
You define the Hotspot configuration in the Device > Hotspot page.
n
DHCP Server settings
Select one of the options:
l
Enabled - Enter the IP address range and if necessary the IP address exclude
range. The appliance's own IP address is automatically excluded from this range.
You can also exclude or reserve specific IP addresses by defining network objects
in the Users & Objects > Network Objects page. Reserving specific IP addresses
requires the MAC address of the device.
l
Relay - Enter the DHCP server IP address.
l
Disabled
Alias IP
With an alias IP, you can associate more than one IP address to a network interface.
n
A single network device can have multiple connections to a network.
n
A specific port is used by more than one network.
All devices are on the same network, even though they show different IPs. For example, LAN4
and LAN4:1 have different IP addresses, but are on the same network. LAN4:1 is the alias.
You can also have an alias IP for VLAN and a switch.
