Table 53: Advanced AP Setting Overrides (continued)
Field Description
GE2 Client Port Specify the function of the second AP Ethernet port:
• Client. Indicates that the client port is enabled on the AP.
The client option is used in the following scenarios:
◦ When an AP radio is configured as a Client Bridge.
Extreme Campus Controller automatically sets the GE2
port to Client when Client Bridge is configured.
◦ To leverage the second port of the access point as a
Client port, allowing pass-through access to attached
clients. Client access is subject to policy. This capability is
also utilized in support of work group meshing. A GE2
Client port is supported on the following access points:
▪ AP3xx, AP4xx, and AP5xx
▪ AP3965
When the GE2 Port is set to Client, the WLAN assignment
dialog displays an option to specify the GE2 assignment,
and the Wired Ports tab is available from the AP Profile.
• AP Ethernet port trac backup (fail over) between GE1 and
GE2
• LAG (Link Aggregation Group)
Link aggregation combines network connections to increase
throughput and to provide redundancy in case of link
failure. Requires that both ports negotiate to the same
speed (1 Gbps).
Note: LAG is supported on ExtremeWireless AP39xx and
11ax APs. LAG is not supported on AP305C, AP410C, and
AP460C.
Force Normal Power Operation Indicates that the AP is configured to operate with the normal,
full-power capacity regardless of a detected AP power
restriction.
Note: Use this setting with caution. Improper use can result in
an AP power source overload, resulting in an unstable AP
operation.
When enabled, this setting indicates that the AP will always
operate in 4x4 mode regardless of what was negotiated with
the Switch PoE. (Or dual 5G-mode if available on the AP.)
When this option is cleared, the AP operates in 2x2 or 4x4
depending on what was negotiated with the Switch PoE using
the 2-event classification.
Note: When an AP5xx, configured for support in a Centralized
site, is connected to two switch ports, configure the power
capabilities of both ports identically. If the power capabilities
are unequal, the AP will resort to Low Power Mode to ensure a
stable operation.
When both ports on a dual-port AP are powered, the port with
the lowest power determines the power result.
