Interface and Routing

To configure a cluster node, you must define interface and routing information.

Interface

You can only create one user defined interface, and it must be for a hotspot service and must use the control interface as its physical interface.The control plane and the UDI must be on different subnets. If the control plane and UDI are on the same subnet, and assigned with the same IP address, APs will be unable to communicate with the control plane. If the control plane and UDI are on the same subnet and assigned different IP addresses, hotspot clients will not be redirected to the logon URL for user authentication.

Static Routing

Static routing is used to manually configure routing entry. Static routes are fixed and do not change if the network is changed or reconfigured. Static routing are usually used to maximize efficiency and to provide backups in the event that dynamic routing information fails to be exchanged.
