Customizing the IP Settings and the LAN Port Settings of an AP
You can customize the IP Settings of the AP. If you want the LAN port settings of a specific AP model to be different from the LAN port settings configured at the venue level, you can override them for a specific AP.
-
On the navigation bar, click
Wi-Fi > Access
Points > AP
List.
The AP List page is displayed.
-
Click the name of the AP for
which you want to customize the AP LAN port settings, then on the
Overview page, click Configure.
Alternatively, click the checkbox for the specific AP name, then click
Edit.
The AP configuration page is displayed, defaulting to the General tab view.
-
Select the Networking
tab.
The Networking settings page is displayed. By default, the IP Settings section is displayed.
-
(Optional) In the IP Settings
section, you can choose one of the following options.
- Dynamic: When you select Dynamic, the IP address and DNS are configured dynamically.
- Static: When you select Static, you must enter the IP address, network mask, gateway, and DNS primary and secondary IP addresses.
-
(Optional) From the left
mini-navigation bar, click LAN Ports (or alternatively,
scroll down the GUI page).
The LAN Ports settings section is displayed. The default setting is to use the LAN port settings of the venue (the fields are all inactive and grayed out). To customize any of the LAN port settings, click the Customize option; the fields become active, allowing you to modify the settings.
-
Select each LAN port sub-tab
that you need to reconfigure, and configure the following as necessary:
- Enable PoE Out: By default, the Enable PoE Out option is disabled. You can enable this option by toggling the Enable PoE Out option to ON. This option is available for specific AP models only.
- Enable Port: This toggle switch is set to ON by default. You may disable the port or re-enable the port by clicking the toggle switch.
- Select the Port Type from the drop-down list. The options are TRUNK, ACCESS, and GENERAL.
- Enter the VLAN
untag ID. Note that modifying the VLAN untag ID
automatically updates the VLAN member
to match, but the VLAN member can be modified without impacting the
VLAN untag
ID. For a TRUNK port,
the VLAN
member cannot be modified and will always remain within the
range of 1-4094.Note: For AP firmware 7.0.0.200.6290 and later versions, any changes to the trunk port VLAN untag ID will take effect. However, for APs with firmware versions earlier than 7.0.0.200.6290, the trunk port VLAN untag ID will remain at the default value of 1, even if the configuration has been changed.
Click the icon to view the feature synopsis and the supported AP model families. Click See the compatibility requirements to view the compatibility requirement information, such as minimum required version and supported AP model family.
- Enter the VLAN
member. Enter a single VLAN member number, a comma-separated
list of VLAN member numbers, or range (or a combination of both). The valid
VLAN member number ranges from 1 through 4094. This field is enabled only if
you select Port Type as GENERAL or
ACCESS.
If Port Type is set to GENERAL, then the VLAN member number will automatically change to match the VLAN untag ID, but you can also manually change it to another number.
If Port Type is set to ACCESS, then the VLAN member number cannot be manually changed, but it will automatically change to match the VLAN untag ID.
- (Optional) If you want to revert to the default port settings, click Reset to default. A confirmation message is displayed, click Continue. Depending on the AP model, the following configurations will be reset to their default settings: Enable Port, Port Type, VLAN untag ID, VLAN member, and Enable PoE Out.
- Click Apply.
