ProSafe 20-AP Wireless Controller WC7520 
After the survey is complete, use the collected data to set up an RF plan. For more 
information, see 
Before You Configure a Wireless Controller
These sections assume that you have deployed at least one wireless controller in your 
network and are ready to configure the wireless controller. For information about how to 
deploy the wireless controller in your network, see the WC7520 ProSafe Wireless Controller 
Installation Guide
 that you can access from 
.
For many configurations, you can use the default wireless settings. The IP address, VLAN, 
DHCP server, client authentication, and data encryption settings are specific to your 
environment. Following are short sections that discuss these settings (with the exception of 
IP address settings, which are self-explanatory). For information about how to configure 
these settings, see the relevant sections.
VLANs
The management VLAN is the dedicated VLAN for access to the wireless controller. All traffic 
that is directed to the wireless controller, including HTTP, HTTPS, SNMP, and SSH traffic, is 
carried over the management VLAN.
If the management VLAN is also configured as a tagged VLAN (the most common 
configuration), the packets to and from the wireless controller carry the 802.1Q VLAN header 
with the assigned VLAN number. If the management VLAN is marked as untagged, the 
packets that are sent from the wireless controller do not carry the 802.1Q header, and all 
untagged packets that are sent to the wireless controller are treated as management VLAN 
traffic.
Note:  
Use a tagged VLAN or change the tagged VLAN ID only if the hubs 
and switches on your LAN support 802.1Q. If they do not, and you 
have not specifically configured a tagged VLAN with the same VLAN 
ID on the hubs and switches in your network, IP connectivity might 
be lost.
The wireless controller needs to have IP connectivity with the access points through the 
management VLAN. If the wireless controller and the access points are on different 
management VLANs, external VLAN routing needs to allow IP connectivity between the 
wireless controller and the access points.
