6.8 Configuring a Topology
Topology configuration is independent of the WLAN services or Policies that are
defined in the system. You can navigate to the Topology configuration page from
either Wireless Controller Configuration or Virtual Network Configuration options
of the HiPath Wireless Assistant main menu. Also, the Policy definition page
allows the user to edit or create a Topology definition at any time.
Topologies are not activated until they are referenced by a Policy. Creating an
interface on a VLAN will not take effect until a Policy references its usage.
Topologies cannot be deleted while they are active (that is, referenced by a
Policy).
On the Topology configuration page, the key field is the Mode, which determines
some of the other factors of the topology. When you have completed defining the
topology for your VNS, save the topology settings. Once your topology is saved,
you can then access the remaining VNS tabs and continue configuring your VNS.
