Network Ports
A network port is Layer 2 switch port that connects the WX switch to
other networking devices such as switches and routers.
To configure network ports:
1 Do one of the following:
 Open the WX Switch wizard, then select Ethernet Port in the organizer
list of the System and Administrative page.
 In the Organizer panel, select Ports / MAPs under a WX switch, then
select Config > Edit. Click on Ethernet Port at the top of the wizard.
2 Select an Ethernet port to modify.
3 Click Modify. The Modify Port dialog box appears.
The options in the Wired Authentication Setup group box apply only to
wired authentication ports.
4 In the Name box, type a name for the port (1 to 16 alphanumeric
characters, with no spaces or tabs).
5 To enable the port, select Enabled. To disable the port, clear Enabled.
By default, the port is enabled.
6 To enable PoE, select PoE Enabled.
CAUTION: Although you can enable PoE on a network port, doing so is
not recommended. If you enable PoE on a port connected to a device
other than a MAP access point, hardware damage can result.
By default, PoE is disabled. To disable PoE, clear PoE Enabled.
