Packet types supported for the type filtering function include 16-bit DIX Ethernet types as
well as Brocade Mobility proprietary types. Select an Ethernet type from the drop down
menu, or enter the Ethernet type’s hexadecimal value. See your System Administrator if
unsure of the implication of adding or omitting a type from the list for either LAN1 or LAN2.
4. To optionally delete a type filtering selection from the list, highlight the packet type and click
the Delete button.
5. Click Apply to save any changes to the LAN1 or LAN2 Ethernet Type Filter Configuration screen.
Navigating away from the screen without clicking Apply results in all changes to the screens
being lost.
6. Click Cancel to securely exit the LAN1 or LAN2 Ethernet Type Filter Configuration screen
without saving your changes.
7. Click Logout to securely exit the Access Point applet. A prompt displays confirming the logout
before the applet is closed.
Configuring WAN Settings
A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a widely dispersed telecommunications network. The Mobility 7131
Access Point includes one WAN port. The Mobility 7131 Access Point WAN port has its own MAC
address. In a corporate environment, the WAN port might connect to a larger corporate network.
For a small business, the WAN port might connect to a DSL or cable modem to access the Internet.
Certain Mobility 7131N model access point SKUs support an express card slot that can provide a
secondary link in the event of a wired WAN failure. The Mobility 7131N Access Point’s wired WAN is
the primary WAN link, as long as it’s enabled and connected, and the WWAN interface functions as
the secondary link.
For the WWAN to be a viable recovery solution, a Mobility 7131N Access Point must monitor the link
status of the wired WAN and check the health of the connection. If the Mobility 7131N Access Point
detects the loss of the wired WAN connection, it establishes the WWAN connection and updates
the default gateway to the WWAN interface. Additionally, the NAT rule is changed dynamically from
the wired WAN interface to the wireless WAN interface. All traffic that used go to the wired WAN is
redirected to the WWAN. If the Mobility 7131N Access Point detects the wired WAN link is restored
and up for at least 1 minute, the operation is reversed. The wired WAN becomes the default WAN
link once again.
Use the WAN screen to set the WAN IP configuration, Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)
parameters and the Mobility 7131N Access Point.
To configure WAN settings for the Mobility 7131 Access Point:
1. Select Network Configuration -> WAN from the Mobility 7131 Access Point menu tree.
