Wireless (ESS) Profiles

The AP110 and AP1014i support tunneled and bridged modes for wireless (ESS) profiles. The
AP110 supports a maximum of 10 wireless stations.

Wired Port Profiles

The AP110 and AP1014i support tunneled and bridged modes for wired port profiles.
AP wired interfaces that are part of a port profile share the same configuration. The traffic from
the wired stations connected to the AP interfaces that are part of the port profile can be
tunneled back to the controller or locally bridged. Multiple port profiles can be created with
different configurations for different sets of APs.
Keep the following in mind when an AP is part of a port profile that supports wired stations:

When a secondary Ethernet port is bound to the Meru tunnel, the AP tunnels all
packets between the devices attached to that port and the controller. In tunnel mode,
traffic always goes to the controller and then gets forwarded to the destination.

The interfaces can be in different modes (for example, the wired interface can be
bridged, whereas wireless can be tunneled and vice versa).

Each device connected to an additional Ethernet port is visible as a wired station on the
AP for management and monitoring purposes. The
displays wired stations.

If the wired interface data plane is in tunnel mode and the device is a VoIP phone that
uses SIP, it will be visible as a SIP phone on the controller's phone database. The
CLI command lists wired phones.
