Configuring the Port Settings of a Particular AP Model

Use Port Settings in the AP Model-Specific Configuration section to configure the Ethernet ports of a particular AP model.

Follow these steps to configure the port settings of a certain AP model.

1. All ports are enabled by default (the Enable check boxes are all selected). To disable a particular port entirely, clear the Enable check box next to the port name (LAN1, LAN2, etc.)
2. For any enabled ports, you can choose whether the port will be used as a Trunk Port, Access Port, or General Port.
   The following restrictions apply:

   • All APs must be configured with at least one Trunk Port.
     NOTE

     You cannot move an AP model to an AP group and configure the AP model to use a trunk port at the same time, if general ports are enabled when trunk port limitation is disabled. You must configure the selected AP model to use at least one trunk port, and then move the AP model to the AP group.
   • For single port APs, the single LAN port must be a trunk port and is therefore not configurable.
   • For ZoneFlex 7025/7055, the LAN5/Uplink port on the rear of the AP is defined as a Trunk Port and is not configurable. The four front-facing LAN ports are configurable.
   • For all other APs, you can configure each port individually as either a Trunk Port, Access Port, or General Port.
