LAN1 and LAN2 Ports
Static Link
Aggregation
28
The wireless access point has two Ethernet ports, labeled LAN1 and
LAN2. You use the ports to connect the wireless access point to your
wired network. Here are their basic properties:
LAN1 and LAN2 ports support PoE+.
The default setting for LAN1 port is enabled. You cannot disable it.
The default setting for LAN2 port is disabled.
LAN1 and LAN2 ports can be combined into a static Link
Aggregation (LAG) to double the bandwidth between the wireless
access point and the wired network.
LAN2 can be configured as a separate Ethernet port for another
network device. This is referred to as the Cascade mode.
You can double the bandwidth between the wireless access point and
your wired network by combining LAN1 and LAN2 ports into a static LAG.
A static LAG functions as a single logical link between the wireless access
point and another network device, such as an Ethernet switch or router. A
static LAG also provides link redundancy. If one link goes down, the
wireless access point maintains connectivity to the wired network over the
remaining link. Refer to Figure 6.
Figure 6. LAN1 and LAN2 Ports in a Static LAG
Here are guidelines to using LAN1 and LAN2 ports as a static LAG:
You have to connect the ports to the same network device, such as
an Ethernet switch or router, or virtual stacking devices. Do not
connect the LAN ports to different network devices.
The network device has to support static LAGs.
You have to configure the two ports on the network device as a
static LAG.
You activate the static LAG for LAN1 and LAN2 ports with the
on-board web browser management interface.
