Setting the Ethernet Speed

This sets the speed of the wired Ethernet connection for the RoamAbout R2. Typically, the

default setting, autonegotiate, is used in most environments. You might need to use a fixed

setting to support a network device that does not work well with the autonegotiate setting.

To access the Ethernet speed using the AP Manager, click on Network Parameters in the

main window.

To access the Ethernet speed using the R2 console port or Telnet, choose Network

Configuration from the Main Menu. If you change the setting, choose Save. You do not

need to reset the AP.

The web interface displays the wired Ethernet speed in the Hardware page (under

Network Configuration), but does not allow you to change the setting.

Setting the Cabletron Discovery Protocol

The Cabletron Discovery Protocol (CDP) allows other devices (Cabletron/Enterasys) with

CDP to discover the RoamAbout R2 in the network topology.

• Auto enabled (the default setting). The RoamAbout R2 sends out one CDP packet at

startup, and only transmits further CDP packets after receiving CDP packets from

another device.

• Enabled. The RoamAbout R2 always sends out CDP packets.

• Disabled. The RoamAbout R2 never sends out a CDP Packet.

To access the CDP setting on the AP Manager, click on the Network Parameters button

in the main window.

To access the CDP setting from the R2 console port menu, choose Network Configuration

from the Main Menu.

CDP is not accessible from the web interface.

NOTE: CDP is automatically disabled on the wireless port when the

RoamAbout R2 is in workgroup mode.
