Profile Overrides - Ethernet Ports

To view an access point's Ethernet port configuration:

  1. Go to Configuration → Devices → Device Overrides.

    The Device Overrides screen displays. This screen lists devices within the managed network.

  2. Select an access point.

    The selected access point's configuration menu displays.

  3. Expand Interface and select Ethernet Ports.
    The selected access point's physical port reporting runtime data and statistics is displayed.

  4. Refer to the following to assess port status, mode and VLAN configuration:

    Name

    Displays the physical port name reporting runtime data and statistics. Supported ports vary depending on model.

    Type

    Displays the physical port type.

    Description

    Displays an administrator defined description for each listed port.

    Admin Status

    Displays an administrator defined description for each listed port.

    Mode

    The profile's switching mode: either Access or Trunk (as defined on the Ethernet Port Basic Configuration screen).

    If Access is selected, the port accepts packets only from the native VLAN. Frames are forwarded untagged with no 802.1Q header. All frames received on the port are expected as untagged and mapped to the native VLAN.

    If Trunk is selected, the port allows packets from a list of VLANs added to the trunk. The port supports multiple 802.1Q tagged VLANs and one native VLAN which can be tagged or untagged.

    Native VLAN

    The VLAN ID (1 - 4094) for the native VLAN. The native VLAN allows an Ethernet device to associate untagged frames to a VLAN when no 802.1Q frame is included in the frame. Additionally, the native VLAN is the VLAN over which untagged traffic is directed when using a port in Trunk mode.

    Tag Native VLAN

    A green check mark means the native VLAN is tagged. A red "X" means the native VLAN is untagged.

    When a frame is tagged, the 12-bit frame VLAN ID is added to the 802.1Q header so upstream Ethernet devices know which VLAN ID the frame belongs to. The device reads the 12-bit VLAN ID and forwards the frame to the appropriate VLAN. When a frame is received with no 802.1Q header, the upstream device classifies the frame using the default or native VLAN assigned to the Trunk port. A native VLAN allows an Ethernet device to associate untagged frames to a VLAN when no 802.1Q frame is included in the frame.

    Allowed VLANs

    The VLANs allowed to send packets over the listed port. Allowed VLANs are listed only when the port is in Trunk mode.

    Overrides

    Select the Clear icon to clear existing overrides applied on the selected device.
