Configuring the Access Point
Configuring Ethernet Ports
Port Type See “Setting Ethernet Port Type” on page 67 for more detailed
information.
■ Trunk Port: This port passes all VLAN traffic.
■ Access Port: This port provides network access.
■ General Port: User-defined VLAN membership.
Packet Forward Isolated: Selecting Isolated causes the traffic from this port to
terminate at the Access Point.
Bridge to WAN: The default setting, Bridge to WAN forwards
packets arriving on this port to the WAN (uplink) port and
eventually to their external destinations using Layer 2 forwarding.
Local Subnet NAT and Route to WAN: This setting allows
routing of packets to their destinations using Layer 3 network
address translation (NAT).
Bridge to L2TP Tunnel: Uses Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol to deliver
packets encapsulated with an L2TP header in UDP datagrams.
Local Subnet This option appears if you have selected Local Subnet NAT and
Route to WAN under Packet Forward, and you have selected
Access Port as the port type. This option allows you to select which
subnet this port’s traffic will be part of. You must have previously
configured a subnet from the Configuration > Local Subnets page
before it becomes available here.
802.1X Configure the port as an 802.1X authenticator or supplicant. The
following options are available:
■ Disabled: No 802.1X controls are applied to this port.
■ Authenticator (Port Based): Only one of the attached MAC
hosts must be authorized for all hosts to be granted access to
the network.
■ Authenticator (MAC Based): Each MAC host is individually
authenticated.
■ Supplicant: The port acts as a supplicant to an upstream
authenticator. Configure a port as Supplicant if the port is a
Trunk Port used to connect the AP to a LAN switch.
See “Working with 802.1X on Wired Ethernet Ports”
on page 68
for more information.
VLAN Untag ID: Enter a valid VLAN ID in this field to segment traffic
arriving on this port to a specific VLAN. Default is 1. Valid VLAN
entries are 1-4094.
Members: Displays the VLAN membership of the port.
(Membership is configurable only for the General port type.)
See “Working with Port-Based VLANs”
on page 69 for more
information.
