Description
● MAC Address
The MAC address of the device located downstream from the WLAN client from the
perspective of the access point.
● IP Address
The IP address managed for this device by the WLAN client.
● Type
There are two options for the type:
– system
– learned
MAC Mode
IP frames in the direction from the client to the access point always have the MAC address
of the WLAN interface as the source MAC address. As a result, the ARP tables at the access
point end always contain only the MAC address of the WLAN interface of the clients. If there
are several devices downstream from the client, the "Auto find Adopt MAC" function should
not be enabled. In this case, the MAC address would be assigned indiscriminately to the first
device that signals over Ethernet. If there is only IP communication between the access point
and the client, the default setting "Adopt own MAC" can be retained. If you also want MAC
address-based frames to be sent by devices downstream from the client, select the settings
"Adopt MAC manually", "Auto find 'Adopt MAC'" or "Layer 2 Tunnel".
