LAN Port

The WS-AP3825 has two 10/100/1000BaseT RJ45 LAN ports (see Extreme Networks Wireless AP3825i Front View) that can be attached directly to a 10/100/1000BaseT LAN segment. This segment must conform to the IEEE 802.3 or 802.3u specifications.

The APs appear as Ethernet nodes and perform a bridging function by moving packets from the wired LAN to remote workstations on the wireless infrastructure.

The LAN ports also support power over Ethernet (PoE) based on the IEEE 802.3af standard. Refer to Installation, for information on supplying power to the AP network port from a network device, such as a switch, that provides Power over Ethernet (PoE).
