3. Configure the DHCP field to define the type of LAN interface used.
LAN Timeout Use the LAN Timeout drop-down menu to specify whether the
LAN timeout is Disabled, Enabled or uses a Hardware Detect
option to detect traffic over the LAN port. Using Hardware Detect,
if a LAN cable becomes disconnected from the AP-5131, MUs
disassociate and the AP-5131 radio(s) power off. If enabled is
selected, enter a value (in seconds). The
AP-5131 uses this
timeout value when no traffic is detected over the LAN connection.
If no data is transmitted or received over the LAN connection for
the defined interval, the LAN connection is terminated and MUs
disassociate with the AP-5131. Eventually, the AP-5131 radio(s)
power off. Default is 30 seconds.
Enable 802.1q
Trunking
Select the Enable 802.1q Trunking checkbox to enable the
AP-5131 to conduct VLAN tagging. If selected, click the VLAN
Config button to configure mappings between individual WLANs
and VLANs. If enabled, the AP-5131 is required to be connected to
a trunked port.
VLAN Name Click the VLAN Name button to launch the VLAN Name screen
to create VLANs and assign them VLAN IDs. For more information,
see Configuring VLAN Support on page 5-5.
VLAN Config Click the VLAN Config button to launch the VLAN Configuration
screen to map WLANs to VLANs (up to 16 mappings are possible
per AP-5131). For more information, see Configuring VLAN Support
on page 5-5.
802.1x Port
Authentication
The
AP-5131 only supports 802.1x authentication over its LAN
port. The
AP-5131 behaves as an 802.1x supplicant to
authenticate to a server on the network. If using 802.1x
authentication, enter the authentication server user name and
password. The default password is “symbol.” For information on
enabling and configuring authentication schemes on the
AP-5131,
see Enabling Authentication and Encryption Schemes on page 6-5.
NOTE Symbol recommends that the WAN and LAN ports should not both be
configured as DHCP clients.
