Set a minimum set of parameters for using the WAN interface.
a. Select the Enable WAN Interface checkbox to enable a connection between the Mobility
7131 Access Point and a larger network or outside world through the WAN port. Disable
this option to effectively isolate the Mobility 7131 Access Point’s WAN connection. No
connections to a larger network or the Internet will be possible. MUs cannot communicate
beyond the configured subnets.
b. Select the This Interface is a DHCP Client checkbox to enable DHCP for the Mobility 7131
Access Point’s WAN connection. This is useful, if the larger corporate network or Internet
Service Provider (ISP) uses DHCP. DHCP is a protocol that includes mechanisms for IP
address allocation and delivery of host-specific configuration parameters from a DHCP
server to a host. Some of these parameters are IP address, network mask, and gateway.
NOTE
Brocade Mobility recommends that the WAN and LAN ports should not be configured as DHCP
clients at the same time.
c. Specify an IP address for the Mobility 7131 Access Point’s WAN connection. An IP address
uses a series of four numbers expressed in dot notation, for example, 190.188.12.1 (no
DNS names supported).
