APs and clients.

Configuring uplink VLANfor an AP
Cloud Network Manager supports a management VLAN for the uplink traffic on an AP. You can configure an uplink
VLANwhen an AP needs to be managed from a non-native VLAN. After an AP is provisioned with the uplink
management VLAN, all management traffic sent from the AP is tagged with the management VLAN.
Ensure that the native VLAN of the AP and uplink are not the same.
To configure the uplink management VLAN on an AP:
1. Select Wireless Configuration > Access Points and click the AP to modify.
2. Click Edit. The Edit pane for modifying AP details is displayed.
3. Click UPLINK and specify the VLAN in UPLINK MANAGEMENT VLAN.
4. Click Save Settings.
5. Reboot the AP.
Obtaining IP address
You can either specify a static IP address or allow the AP to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. By default,
the APs obtain IP address from a DHCP server.
To specify a static IP address for the AP.
