4.8.2 VLAN Configuration
Default setting of VLAN is “Disabled”. By clicking “Enabled”, VLAN can be enabled. A3
supports VLAN to VAP mappings to provide network security.
Management VLAN is used to configure the management VLAN of A3. A3 can only be
accessed through the specified management VLAN when VLAN is enabled. It will be ignored
when VLAN is disabled.
Native VLAN Tagging control is used to control the untagged packet when VLAN is enabled.
All the packets without VLAN tags should be sent to the VLAN with Native VLAN Tag ID.
The default setting of Native VLAN Tagging is “Disabled”. Native VLAN Tagging can be
enabled when VLAN is enabled.
4.8.3 STP Configuration
STP ensures a loop free topology for any bridged LAN. Under switch mode, STP can be
configured with choice of “Enabled” and “Disabled”, where the default setting is “Disabled”.
The system supports the following fixed default STP parameters:
• Bridge priority: 32768
• Bridge maximum age: 20 seconds
• Bridge hello time: 2 seconds
• Bridge forwarding delay: 15 seconds
• Ethernet port path cost: 80
• Ethernet port priority: 128
• 802.11a bridge port path cost for each bridge link: 100
• 802.11a bridge port path priority for each bridge link: 128
4.8.4 DHCP Client
By enabling DHCP Client and clicking the icon Update, the A3 smart WiFi will acquire a
dynamic IP address from a DHCP server after rebooting.
Without enabling DHCP Client, the IP Address, Subnet Mask and the Default Gateway
Address should be configured by the user, unless the user prefers using the default setting.
NOTE: It is not recommend enabling DHCP client to allocate the IP address of A3 smart
WiFi which is hard to predict after rebooting the A3. If the IP address of A3 smart WiFi is
unknown, there is no way to maintain the A3 smart WiFi via web-admin page.
4.8.5 DNS Auto Update
By setting DNS Auto Update to Enabled and clicking the icon Update, the A3 smart WiFi will
acquire a DNS Server IP address via the DHCP Server after rebooting. User need not to set a
DNS Server IP Address manually.
Without enabling the A3 as a DHCP Client, the DNS IP Address and DNS Domain Name
should be configured by the user.
