Figure 42:
Creating a Static Route
Provide the required details as described in the following table.
TABLE 13: Static Route Fields
Field Description
Static Route Name Enter a descriptive name for the route. Note that this must be between
1 and 16 characters in length.
IP Address/Subnet Enter the subnet for which the route provides access. This is typically in the xxx.xxx.xxx.0 format, as shown above.
Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask for the route. This is typically in the
255.255.255.0 format, as shown above.
FastEthernet
Interface Name
Default Gateway
Use this drop-down to specify which Ethernet adapter will utilize the route. The specified adapter will subsequently gain access to the configured subnet.
The name of the interface used for the route.
The default gateway for the route.
Once the fields are filled in, click OK to save the route. Repeat this process for as many routes as desired.
Virtual Interfaces
When operating in L3 Routing mode, Virtual Interfaces can be configured in order to act in much the same way as the standard physical interfaces on a device: they can be assigned an
IP (or range of IPs), subnet, and gateway, and can be used to isolate clients in their own pri-

vate IP range. Once a Virtual Interface is created, it can be mapped to a DHCP scope (see
Configuring the Controller-Based DHCP Server
) and an ESS in order to service clients.
To view the virtual interface table, access the WebUI and navigate to Configuration > Wired >
Virtual Interface. Note that until at least one interface has been created, the table will be blank.
Adding a Virtual Interface
To create a new virtual interface, access the Virtual Interface Table and click Add. The Virtual
Interface - Add screen appears. See
Figure 43
.

Provide the required details as described in the following table.
TABLE 14: Virtual Interface Fields
Field
Virtual Interface Profile Name
Enable/Disable
Subnet IP Address
Description
Enter a descriptive name for the interface. Note that this must be between 1 and 32 characters in length.
Use this drop-down to enable or disable the virtual interface.
Enter the subnet to be used by the interface. This is typically in the xxx.xxx.xxx.0 format, as shown above.
Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask for the interface. This is typically in the
255.255.255.0 format, as shown above.
Gateway IP Address Specify the IP address for the gateway on the selected subnet. This is typically in the xxx.xxx.xxx.1 format, as shown above.
Once the fields are filled in, click OK to save the interface. Repeat this process for as many interfaces as desired. After the interfaces have been created, you can assign them a DHCP scope. Refer to
Configuring the Controller-Based DHCP Server
for further instructions.
