•MTU – The Maximum Transmission Unit or maximum packet size for this
port. The default setting is 1500. If you change this setting and are using
OSPF, be sure that the MTU of each port in the OSPF link matches.
Note: If the routed connection to an AP traverses a link that imposes a lower MTU
than the default 1500 bytes, the HiPath Wireless Controller and AP both
participate in MTU discovery to automatically learn the correct MTU and adjust
their settings accordingly. At the HiPath Wireless Controller, MTU adjustments
are tracked on a per AP basis.
5. In the Function drop-down list, click one of the folllowing:
•Host Port – Specifies a port for connecting Wireless APs with no OSPF
routing function on this port..
• Third-Party AP Port – Specifies a port to which you will connect third-
party access points.
• Router Port – Specifies a port that you want to connect to an upstream,
next-hop router for OSPF route advertisement in the network.
Note: For OSPF routing on a port, the port must be configured as a router port.
6. To enable management traffic, select the Mgmt checkbox. Enabling
management provides access to SNMP (v2, get), SSH, and HTTPs
management interfaces.
Note: This option does not override the built-in protection filters on the port.
The built-in protection filters for the port, which are restrictive in the types of
packets that are allowed to reach the management plane, are extended with a set
of definitions that allow for access to system management services through that
interface (SSH, SNMP, HTTPS:5825).
7. To enable the SLP protocol, select the SLP checkbox.
Wireless APs use this port for discovery and registration. Other controllers
can use this port to enable inter-controller device mobility if this port is
configured to use SLP or the HiPath Wireless Controller is running as a
manager and SLP is the discovery protocol used by the agents.
8. From the allow Multicast Support drop-down list, click the port: esa0, esa1,
esa2 and esa3.
