This page lists all network profiles that have been defined on the controller. The controller uses logical entities called network profiles to manage the configuration of network settings. Network profiles let you define the characteristics of a network interface (VLAN, IP address) and assign a friendly name to it.
About the default network profiles
Two network profiles are created by default. The names assigned to these profiles are different depending on the product you are configuring.
-
On the MSM720: The two profiles are namedAccess network and Internet network. You can edit these profiles, but you cannot delete them. By default, they are configured as follows:
-
Access network: Assigned to VLAN 1 and is mapped to ports 1, 2, 3 4, untagged. (On an untagged port, the VLAN is only used internally to route/switch traffic.) The Access network profile can only be configured with a static IP address. By default, this address is 192.168.1.1.
-
Internet network: Assigned to VLAN 10 and is mapped to ports 5 and 6, untagged. To see the mapping, consult the VLANs page. (On an untagged port, the VLAN is only used internally to route/switch traffic.) By default, this profile is configured to operate as a DHCP client to automatically obtain an address from a DHCP server.
-
-
On all other controllers: The two profiles are namedLAN port network and Internet port network. These profiles are associated with the two physical Ethernet ports (LAN port and Internet port) on the controller. You can rename these profiles, but you cannot assign a VLAN to them or delete them.
-
LAN port network: Mapped to the LAN port. This profile can only be configured with a static IP address. By default, it is set to 192.168.1.1.
-
Internet port network: Mapped to the Internet port. By default, this profile is configured to operate as a DHCP client to automatically obtain an address from a DHCP server.
