Create or edit an AP template.
Use this task to configure wired interfaces on the AP.
-
Go to .
-
Locate a Device Model and
select an existing Template, or a default template.
-
Scroll down to the Wired Interfaces
pane.
-
Set the Interface State to
ON to
activate the Ethernet port, or set to OFF to
deactivate.
-
Select one of the following
Port
Types:
- Uplink
Port: Use when connecting the AP to the WAN. Use when
dynamic trunk port configurations are desired. The Uplink Port
automatically translates SSDI configurations as well as global native
and Management ports to reduce the need for static trunk port
configurations.
- Access
Port: Use when the AP is working in client access mode
and is connected to a forwarding device, such as a switch that supports
multiple VLANs.
- Trunk
Port: Use when connecting the AP in bridge mode to a
forwarding device, such as a switch that supports multiple VLANs.
-
For Native VLAN (read
only): The native (untagged) VLAN assigned to frames that do not
have any 802.1Q VLAN tags in their headers.
-
For Allowed VLANs (read
only): Enter the VLANs—including the native VLAN—that you want
the trunk port to permit.
You can list the VLANs
individually, separated by commas, or as a range of VLANs using a hyphen.
Alternatively, you can enter the word
all in this field
to support all existing VLANs previously configured in the network policy (the
default). To apply VLANs to devices using classification (uplink port only; not
trunk ports), highlight the Ethernet port icons and see
Configure Classification Rules for a Device Template.
-
For Fabric Attach:
Select the add icon, enter the device's associated VLAN ID and
select its I-SID# from the drop down.
Use this field to configure a
device connected to an existing Fabric Connect network. The device must already
be physically connected to the Fabric Connect switch.
-
For Transmission
Type, select one of the following:
- Auto: The
switch negotiates the best common duplex mode with the connected device.
- Full-Duplex: Forces the switch to communicate with the
connected device using full duplex communication.
- Half-Duplex: Forces the switch to use half duplex
communication.
-
Select the Speed the
Ethernet port uses to communicate with the connected device.
-
Select LLDP for devices
to advertise their identities, status, and capabilities to each other.
Devices can transmit data about
themselves and receive transmitted data from other devices, but they cannot
solicit and retrieve data from other devices.
-
Select CDP for devices
to advertise an IP address that can send and receive SNMP traps.
-
Select MCast Filter to
enable Multicast Rate Limiting on the interface for multicast/broadcast traffic,
and configure Multicast Rate Limit to set the maximum rate (in Kbs) for
incoming multicast traffic for the interface.
-
Optionally, set USBNET to
On to
activate the USB Port, and configure the VLAN.
Note
By default, the USB port
will provide power when the AP is powered by 802.3 at the power source. If
USBNET is enabled, it will be configured as an access port. The USBNET
interface can be configured only for IQ Engine version 10.2r4 and
later.
- Optional:
Toggle Enable Imagotag
to ON.
Continue configuring the AP template.
