NXC Sample Topology
• The LAN zone contains the ge1~ ge8 interfaces (physical ports P1~P8). By
default, all LAN interfaces are put in vlan0.
• The WLAN zone contains Access Points (APs) that are available to the public.
These APs uses private IP addresses that can be assigned by an upstream DHCP
server (default) or the NXC itself in some configurations.
• The console port is not in a zone and can be directly accessed by a computer
attached to it using a special console-to-Ethernet adapter.
