Define the Logical Networks
Before you start to configure devices, you need to set up the Logical Networks that will be used for creating logical network segmentation. Each managed device can use different VLAN ID’s for the same Logical Network label. You can define the Logical Networks based on the customer environment requirements and then associate the network to a VLAN ID when the managed device is configured. For this guide we will create the Logical Networks below:
-
IP Camera – Dedicated for segmentation of Camera IOT devices.
-
BYOD – Dedicated for segmentation of all Bring your Devices.
-
PLC and UPS – Dedicated segmentation networks for Industrial devices.
-
Corporate Devices – Dedicated segmentation network for Corporate units.
To define your logical network
