Testing Ethernet for Access Point Backhaul

10. TESTING ETHERNET FOR ACCESS POINT BACKHAUL
The Ethernet Test verifies key connectivity parameters for the
wired link to an access point.
To configure the Ethernet test, see “Ethernet Settings” on
page 121.
The Ethernet Test Results Screen
The results fields report high-level Pass (green) or Fail (red)
results of the test components. Select the down arrows
to the right of each field to view detailed information.
PoE: Indicates whether or not PoE Class 0 capabilities are
detected on the current link, including the measured voltage
in parentheses if present. The AirCheck G2 negotiates for
Class 0 PoE from a device. If the PoE is successfully
negotiated, the tester measured and displays the PoE
voltage. NOTE: You can disable the PoE test in Ethernet
Settings.
Link: Indicates whether or not a Layer-2 Ethernet link is
established. The field turns green if a link was successfully
established or red if no link could be established.
Port: Displays the switch name, model, MAC address, IP
address, port number, and VLAN IDs. The information is
gathered from switch port info packets (CDP, EDP, and LLDP).

NOTE: T
he AirCheck G2 listens for the first switch info
packet (LLDP, CDP, or EDP) on the wire after it establishes
link and uses this to populate the Port information. If it is
capable of hearing these packets from more than one
