WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch Software Administration Manual • If you are using VLAN 1 to connect the WFS709TP to the network (see "Deployment Scenario #1" on page 2-1 and "Deployment Scenario #2" on page 2-2), ping the VLAN 1 IP address from a workstation on the network. • If you created and configured a new VLAN (see "Deployment Scenario #3" on page 2-4), ping the IP address of the new VLAN from a workstation on the network. Configure the Loopback for the WFS709TP You need to configure a loopback address if you are not using VLAN 1 to connect the WFS709TP to the network ("Deployment Scenario #3"). The loopback address is used as the WFS709TP's IP address. If you do not configure a loopback address, the IP address assigned to VLAN 1 is used as the WFS709TP's IP address. Note: After you configure or modify a loopback address, you must reboot the WFS709TP for the change to take effect. The loopback address can be part of the IP address space assigned to a VLAN interface. In the example topology used in the procedure "Create the VLAN" on page 2-10, the VLAN 5 interface on the WFS709TP was previously configured with the IP address 10.3.22.20/24. The loopback IP address in this example will be 10.3.22.220. Note: You configure the loopback address as a host address with a 32-bit netmask. The loopback address should be routable from all external networks. To set the loopback address through the browser interface: 1. Navigate to the Configuration > Advanced > Switch > General page (Figure 2-10). 2. Enter the IP address for the loopback address. Deploying a Basic WFS709TP System v1.0, June 2007 2-13

•
If you are using VLAN 1 to connect the WFS709TP to the network (see
“Deployment
Scenario #1” on page 2-1
and
“Deployment Scenario #2” on page 2-2
), ping the VLAN 1 IP
address from a workstation on the network.
•
If you created and configured a new VLAN (see
“Deployment Scenario #3” on page 2-4
), ping
the IP address of the new VLAN from a workstation on the network.
Configure the Loopback for the WFS709TP
You need to configure a loopback address if you are not using VLAN 1 to connect the WFS709TP
to the network (
“Deployment Scenario #3”
). The loopback address is used as the WFS709TP’s IP
address. If you do not configure a loopback address, the IP address assigned to VLAN 1 is used as
the WFS709TP’s IP address.
The loopback address can be part of the IP address space assigned to a VLAN interface. In the
example topology used in the procedure
“Create the VLAN” on page 2-10
, the VLAN 5 interface
on the WFS709TP was previously configured with the IP address 10.3.22.20/24. The loopback IP
address in this example will be 10.3.22.220.
To set the loopback address through the browser interface:
1.
Navigate to the Configuration > Advanced > Switch > General page (
Figure 2-10
).
2.
Enter the IP address for the loopback address.
Note:
After you configure or modify a loopback address, you must reboot the WFS709TP
for the change to take effect.
Note:
You configure the loopback address as a host address with a 32-bit netmask. The
loopback address should be routable from all external networks.
