Procedure 7-1 (continued)
Provisioning the Ethernet-VBN switch and port database
Step Action
Note the following about the example port configuration is shown in
Figure 7-7 on page 7-12:
• The "Port Status" field must be enabled for the port to function.
• The "Validation Policy" must be enabled to ensure that users have to
authenticate themselves to use the service.
• The "Port Use Context" for "downlink" ports should be set to "Network."
• YesWare supports Ethernet-VBN switches with a total of 24 standard
ports and one or two auxiliary or high-speed ports.
9 Enter the required settings for port 1 and click "Next."
The system commits the settings and moves down the list to port 2. Repeat
this step for all ports being provisioned. The system will automatically move
up or down the port list to the adjacent port each time the Next or Previous
button is clicked.
10 If this switch connects to another switch lower in the Ethernet-VBN hierarchy,
provision the port that is used as the downlink connection. Figure 7-7 shows
an example of a downlink port configuration.
