You cannot set a port type if the port is a member of a port VLAN. To remove a port from a

VLAN, use the clear vlan command. To reset a port as a network port, use the clear port type

command.

When you change port type, MSS applies default settings appropriate for the port type. Table 5– 6

lists the default settings that MSS applies when you set a port type to ap.

Note:

Before changing the port type from ap to wired-auth or from wired-auth to ap,

you must reset the port with the clear port type command.
