There is a fourth port type that is not configurable in the HiPath Wireless
Assistant:
• Virtual Network Services (VNS) interface
A VNS port is a virtual port created automatically on the HiPath Wireless
Controller when a new VNS is defined. The VNS port becomes the default
gateway for wireless devices on this VNS. No Wireless APs can be
associated with a VNS port and no routing is permitted on this port.
The chart below summarizes the port types and their functions:
To configure the data port interfaces on the HiPath Wireless Controller:
1. From the main menu, click Wireless Controller Configuration. The HiPath
Wireless Controller Configuration page is displayed.
2. In the left pane, click IP Addresses. The Management Port Settings and
