Page 12: Chapter 2. Configuring Your Network
Chapter 2. Configuring Your Network: It is assumed that the user has a machine for management connected to the LAN to the controller. The LAN connection may be through the wired Ethernet ports available on the controller, or once the initial setup is complete, the DWC may also be managed through its wireless interface as it is bridged with the LAN.
Page 13 Wireless Controller User Manual To configure LAN Connectivity, please follow the steps below: In the LAN Setup page, enter the following information for your controller:  IP address: (factory default: 192.168.10.1).  If you change the IP address and click Save Settings, the GUI will not respond.
Page 14: Figure 1: Setup Page For Lan Tcp/Ip Settings

Page 15: Lan Configuration In An Ipv6 Network
Wireless Controller User Manual 2.1.1 LAN Configuration in an IPv6 Network Advanced > IPv6 > IPv6 LAN > IPv6 LAN Config In IPv6 mode, the LAN DHCP server is enabled by default (similar to IP v4 mode). The DHCPv6 server will serve IPv6 addresses from configured address pools with the IPv6 Prefix Length assigned to the LAN.
Page 16: Figure 2: Ipv6 Lan And Dhcpv6 Configuration
Wireless Controller User Manual Figure 2: IPv6 LAN and DHCPv6 configuration  If you change the IP address and click Save Settings, the GUI will not respond. Open a new connection to the new IP address and log in again. Be sure the LAN host (the machine used to manage the router) has obtained IP address from newly assigned pool (or has a static IP address in the router‘s LAN subnet) before accessing the router via changed IP address.
Page 17 Wireless Controller User Manual The following settings are used to configure the DHCPv6 server:  DHCP Mode: The IPv6 DHCP server is either state less or stateful. If stateless is selected an external IPv6 DHCP server is not required as the IPv6 LAN hosts are auto-configured by this controller.
Page 18: Configuring Ipv6 Router Advertisements
IPv6 network is required for stateless auto configuration of the IPv6 LAN. By configuring the Router Advertisement Daemon on this router, the DWC-1000 will listen on the LAN for router solicitations and respond to these L AN hosts with router advisements.

Wireless Controller User Manual Figure 3: Configuring the Router Advertisem ent Daemon Advertisement Prefixes Advanced > IPv6 > IPv6 LAN > Advertisement Prefixes The router advertisements configured with advertisement prefixes allow this router to inform hosts how to perform stateless address auto configuration. Router advertisements contain a list of subnet prefixes that allow the router to determine neighbors and whether the host is on the same link as the router.
Page 20: Vlan Configuration
Wireless Controller User Manual  IPv6 Prefix Length: This value indicates the number contiguous, higher order bits of the IPv6 address that define up the network portion of the address. Typically this is 64.  Prefix Lifetime: This defines the duration (in seconds) that the requesting node is allowed to use the advertised prefix.
