3. Click the Create button (if necessary) to launch the New WLAN screen. Use the New WLAN
screen to define the properties of a new WLAN that would display and be selectable within the
Wireless Configuration screen. For additional information, see Creating/Editing Individual
WLANs on page 5-139.
4. Click the Edit button (if necessary) to launch the Edit WLAN screen. Use the Edit WLAN screen
to revise the properties of an existing WLAN that would continue display and be selectable
within the Wireless Configuration screen. For additional information, see Creating/Editing
Individual WLANs on page 5-139.
5. Consider using the Delete button to remove an existing WLAN if it has become outdated and is
no longer required or if you are coming close the maximum 16 WLANs available per Mobility
7131 Access Point.
6. Refer to the Proxy-ARP Disable field to enable/disable Proxy AP support. Proxy ARP is disabled
by default.
When enabled, any system on the wireless network that ARPs for the IP address of an
associated MU receives an ARP reply from the access point stating the requesting system
should be sending packets destined for the MU to access point instead. In turn, the access
point forwards the requesting packets to the target MU. Through this process, the access
point can pass ARP requests in both directions, making an MU appear to be connected to
a public network even though it’s on a private network, hidden behind the access point.
Select the following options as required:
c. Select Dynamic for the access point to respond to an ARP request for its MU IP addresses
using an ARP response and drop the original ARP request packet.
