4. Select a mode of operation from the Mode drop-down list. Choices are:
– Physical
– Routed — Routed topologies do not need any Layer 2 configuration, but do require Layer
3 configuration. See “Layer 3 Configuration” on page 4-6 for more information.
– Bridge Traffic Locally at AP — Requires Layer 2 configuration. Does not require Layer 3
configuration. Bridge Traffic at the AP VNSs do not require the definition of a
corresponding IP address since all traffic for users in that VNS will be directly bridged by
the Wireless AP at the local network point of attachment (VLAN at AP port).
– Bridge Traffic Locally at WLC — Requires Layer 2 configuration. May optionally have
Layer 3 configuration. Layer 3 configuration would be necessary if services (such as
DHCP, captive portal, etc.) are required over the configured network segment, or if
controller management operations are intended to be done through the configured
interface.
5. Configure the Layer 2 VLAN Settings, depending on the previously selected Mode.
– For Physical, enter a VLAN identifier (1 - 4094), with at least one layer 2 member port (no
mu associated).
– For Bridge Traffic Locally at WLC, enter a VLAN identifier (1 - 4094) that is valid for your
system and enter the port to which this VLAN is attached to, according to the networking
deployment model pre-established during planning.
– For Bridge Traffic Locally at AP, enter a VLAN identifier (1 - 4094) that is valid for your
system.
– Specify whether the VLAN configuration is Tagged or Untagged.
– For Port, select the Physical (Ethernet) or Link Aggregation (LAG) data port. For more
information, see Viewing and Changing the L2 Ports Information.
6. To replicate topology settings, click Synchronize in the Status box.
7. Click Save to save your changes.
These steps are sufficient to create and save a topology. The following configuration options are
optional and depend on the mode of the topology.
Enabling Management Traffic
If management traffic is enabled for a VNS, it overrides the built-in exception filters that prohibit
traffic on the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller data interfaces. For more information, see Filtering
Rules.
To Enable Management Traffic for a Topology:
1. From the top menu, click either Wireless Controller or VNS Configuration. Then, in the left
pane, select Topologies. The Topologies window displays.
2. Select the desired physical or routed topology. If the Layer 3 parameters are not displayed,
check the Layer 3 checkbox.
3. Select the Management Traffic checkbox.
4. To save your changes, click Save.
