Configuring a Management Interface
The Management IP address can be configured to allow an administrator to manage the
Unleashed network from a single IP address, regardless of which Unleashed AP is currently
the Unleashed Master AP.
The Management IP can be reached from anywhere on the network as long as it is routable by way of the default Gateway configured in Device IP Settings. Then, you only have to remember one IP address.
Complete the following steps to configure a Management Interface:
- Go to , and click the Management Interface tab.
- Select the check box next to Enable IPv4 Management Interface.
- Enter an IP Address and Netmask.
- (Optional) Select Enable VLAN for Management Interface and enter Access VLAN.
- (Optional) Enable the check box next to Use for RADIUS services to use this IP address for communication with a RADIUS authentication/accounting server. If enabled, the Master AP will send RADIUS packets through this management interface, and the RADIUS server only needs to record one IP address for the Unleashed network. Otherwise, it will record the addresses of all APs.
- The Use for SNMP services check box is automatically enabled when a Management Interface is enabled, and this address will be used for SNMP communications, if enabled.
