Setting Ethernet Port Type
ZoneFlex AP Ethernet ports can be configured as one of the following port types:
Trunk Port
Access Port
General Port
Trunk Port
Trunk Ports forward and receive tagged and untagged frames and are used for
bridging switch ports together. The Trunk port is a member of all VLANs that exist
on the switch, and all VLAN-tagged traffic arriving on the port is seen. If an untagged
frame is received on a Trunk port, the frame is associated with the Untag VLAN (also
known as the native VLAN, by default, 1).
If a port is configured as a Trunk port, the Untag ID field can be used to define the
Untag VLAN--the VLAN that the switch uses for forwarding and filtering when a
frame arrives without an 802.1Q header.
Access Port
Access Ports are used to provide network access. Traffic arriving on different Access
Ports can be segmented into different logical networks (VLANs) using the Untag
VLAN ID field. Access Ports are members of only one VLAN--the VLAN that is
configured in the Untag VLAN field.
Accounting Server

Enter the accounting server IP address, port, and server
secret for all Ethernet ports. Only available if 802.1X

and

Ethernet ports. Only available if 802.1X Trunk port and
Supplicant are enabled (includes any packet forward
selection).
