ONFIGURATION
This section provides information for configuring the wireless interface on the NetScreen
device. Depending on the type of license you have installed, you can configure up to four
virtual Access Points on a NetScreen-5GT Wireless device. The interface to zone bindings
are static, and there are no wireless interfaces assigned to the Untrust zone. You must
configure at least one wireless interface on the NetScreen device to create a
wireless LAN (WLAN).
The figure below shows the default configuration for the NetScreen-5GT Wireless.
The default wireless interface has a predefined name “wireless2”. The Trust and wireless2
interfaces are bound to the Trust zone and are configured with the subnetwork addresses
192.168.1.1/24 and 192.168.2.1/24, respectively. This means that all devices that you
connect to in the Trust zone must be in the same subnetwork as either the trust or
wireless2 interface and have IP addresses in one of the two subnetworks. The NetScreen
device is also configured to assign IP addresses for the 192.168.1.1/24 and 192.168.2.1/24
subnetworks to your devices. For more information, refer to
.
Note: If you are operating the NetScreen-5GT Wireless device in a country other than the
United States or Japan, then you must use the set wlan country-code command before a
WLAN connection can be established. This command sets the selectable channel range
and transmit power level.
