Description
Shows the MAC address for the LAN interface for the Ethernet port on
this access point. This is a read-only field that you cannot change.
The management VLAN is the VLAN associated with the IP address
you use to access the AP. The default management VLAN ID is 1.
Provide a number between 1 and 4094 for the management VLAN ID.
If you disable untagged VLANs, all traffic is tagged with a VLAN ID.
By default all traffic on the Unified Access Point uses VLAN 1, which
is the default untagged VLAN.
This means that all traffic is untagged until you disable untagged
VLANs, change the untagged traffic VLAN ID, or change the VLAN
ID for a virtual access point (VAP) or a client using RADIUS.
Provide a number between 1 and 4094 for the untagged VLAN ID.
Traffic on the VLAN that you specify in this field will not be tagged
with a VLAN ID.
If you select DHCP, the access point acquires its IP address, subnet
mask, DNS, and gateway information from a DHCP server.
If you select Static IP, you must enter information in the Static IP
Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway fields.
Enter the static IP address in the text boxes. This field is disabled if you
use DHCP as the connection type.
Enter the subnet mask in the text boxes.
Enter the default gateway in the text boxes.
Select the mode for the DNS.
• In Dynamic mode, the IP addresses for the DNS servers are
assigned automatically via DHCP. (This option is only available if
you specified DHCP for the Connection Type.)
• In Manual mode, you must assign static IP addresses to resolve
domain names.
After you configure the Ethernet settings, you must click Update to apply the
changes and to save the settings. Changing some access point settings might
cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless
clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change
access point settings when WLAN traffic is low.
