Hi All,

Just got a Extreme 450e 24 port switch and a Wireless AP4511
I need to add them into the existing network which is very basic
HP Proliant switch that feeds the sonicwall router.
Router IP is :199.95.137.1
DNS- 199.95.137.25

I want to give the Extreme 450e switch a static ip of 199.95.137.10

Now after looking around a doing a bit of reading i think this is what i need to do to get everything running
but it would be nice to get some feedback from people who use these all the time.

I need to split the switch into 2 seperate vlans based upon ports.
One vlan will be for a bunch of production machines that stil need to access the main network but moved into thier own vlan
to help when they are sharing files between each other.
The second Vlan will be for the Wireless 4511 network , which will eventually have 10 AP's.
The only thing i definatly havnt found anywhere is where or how to add the switches static IP
this is as far as ive got, any pointers would be great.....


Extreme 450e

(VLAN2) Create Vlan
create vlan WIRELESS
configure vlan WIRELESS tag 2
configure vlan WIRELESS ipaddress 192.168.3.1/24

(VLAN3) Create VLAN
create vlan PRODUCTION
configure vlan PRODUCTION tag 3
configure vlan PRODUCTION ipaddress 192.168.2.1/24

450e switch to WIRELESS AP's on (vlan 2 WIRELESS)
Assigns Ports 1-10 on Extreme Switch to be part of WIRELESS VLAN
configure vlan WIRELESS add port 1-10 untagged

450e switch to PC (vlan 3 PRODUCTION)
Assigns Ports 11-20 on Extreme Switch to be part of PRODUCTION VLAN
configure vlan PRODUCTION add port 11-20 untagged


Extreme 450e switch to HP Proliant switch
2-4 CAT6 TRUNK LINES TO HP SWITCH PORTS 21,22,23,24.

configure vlan default add port 21-24 tagged
configure vlan WIRELESS add port 21-24 tagged
configure vlan PRODUCTION add port 21-24 tagged


Wireless AP extreme 4511 Virtual IP in Router
192.168.3.2 - AP4511 IP ADDRESS
255.255.255.0
199.95.137.1 Gateway?

Wireless DHCP range -192.168.3.30 - 192.168.3.220
DNS- 199.95.137.25 / 8.8.8.8
 
Wireless AP extreme 4511

Virtual AP Mode
Router Mode

LAN Configuration

Static IP - 192.168.1.1

DHCP SERVER

DHCP range -192.168.1.30 - 192.168.1.220
Default Gateway - 192.168.1.1 (is this the same as the static IP?)
DNS- 199.95.137.25 / 8.8.8.8

WAN Configuration

Static Ip/Subnet - 192.168.3.2
Default Gateway - 192.168.3.2 ( not sure if this is correct in relation to the WIRELESS VLAN on the switch being the 192.168.3.1?)

This is the area i get confused when dealing with lans/wans inside a VLAN to make sure it can get all the way out to the internet.


thanks

Brian
