Configuring LAN Interface for an AOS-10 VPNC

To configure the LAN Local Area Network. A LAN is a network of connected devices within a distinct geographic area such as an office or a commercial establishment and share a common communications line or wireless link to a server. interface on a VPNC, complete the following steps:

  1. In the WebUI, set the filter to Global or a group that contains at least one Branch Gateway that is configured as an AOS-10VPNC.
  2. Under Manage, click Devices > Gateways.
    A list of gateways is displayed in the List view.
  3. Click a gateway under Device Name.
    The dashboard context for the gateway device is displayed.
  4. Under Manage, click Device.
    The gateway configuration page is displayed.
    If you are accessing the VPNC configuration page for the first time, the Guided Setup wizard opens automatically. Otherwise, click the Guided Setup.
  5. In the VLANs tab, click the + icon in the VLANs table to add a VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. In computer networking, a single Layer 2 network may be partitioned to create multiple distinct broadcast domains, which are mutually isolated so that packets can only pass between them through one or more routers; such a domain is referred to as a Virtual Local Area Network, Virtual LAN, or VLAN..
  6. In the New VLAN pop-up, configure the following parameters:
  7. Click Save and the click Next.
  8. For more information see, Configuring VLANs on Gateways.

    The LAN ports page is displayed.

  9. Click the + icon in the LAN Ports/Port Channel table.
  10. Configure the following parameters in the New LAN Port / Port Channel pop-up window:
    • Enter a name for the port.

        • Native VLAN (optional)—The untagged VLAN ID for the port or port channel.
        • Allowed VLAN (optional)—The range of VLAN IDs assigned to the port or port channel including the Native VLAN.
  11. Select the LLDP Link Layer Discovery Protocol. LLDP is a vendor-neutral link layer protocol in the Internet Protocol suite used by network devices for advertising their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on an IEEE 802 local area network, which is principally a wired Ethernet. Enabled checkbox to allow network devices to advertise their identity and capabilities on a LAN.

  12. Click Save.
  13. Click Next.
  14. Review the Summary page and click Finish.

    When there are any errors in the configuration, the Finish button is disabled. You must resolve the errors to proceed to the next step.
