Descriptions
A user-specified name for the access point.
This value can be retrieved via SNMP.
A user-specified name for the location of the access point.
This value can be retrieved via SNMP.
This pulldown menu allows you to select the access point to run as a bridge or a
router. When the access point runs as a router, the Management VLAN ID is
ignored and the LAN settings appears for proper network setup.
The domain name can be set for wireless clients to have a readable name for both
web management and captive portal redirection URLs.
The unique IP address for the wireless access point to communicate on the
Ethernet segment. This IP address is distinct from the admin IP address
192.168.0.3 on the Ethernet segment.
There are two check boxes:
• From DHCP. The IP address of the wireless access point is acquired from a
DHCP server on the Ethernet segment.
• Keep Default IP. The default IP address is available on the system along with
the Server IP setting.
The subnet mask of the wireless access point.
The default gateway of the wireless access point.
The DNS server address to be used by the wireless access point for resolving host
names.
The VLAN from which management sessions are allowed. The establishment of
management sessions is restricted to only the specified VLAN ID. If Management
VLAN ID is set to zero, no VLAN restriction is applied. The default value of this
setting is zero, which means no tagging is enabled (instead of tagged with zero).
This pulldown menu allows you to select the time region for the wireless access
point.
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server host name to be used for synchronizing
the system clock of the wireless access point. The default value of this setting is
pool.ntp.org.
Select the STP check box to enable the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to prevent
path redundancy. When the STP check box is selected, two more options are
provided: Bridge Priority and Ethernet Path Cost.
The priority for root switch election.
The best path from the switch to the root switch.
