Bridge port configuration
All ports (Ethernet and wireless) on the AP are bridged. Therefore, common settings are
configured using the bridge port (which is a logical port). To verify, and possibly adjust bridge
port configuration, select Network > Ports > Bridge port.
Assign IP address via
The bridge port supports the following addressing options:
PPPoE client
DHCP client (default setting)
Static
By default, the bridge port operates as a DHCP client. Select the addressing option that is
required by your network administrator and then select Configure. See the online help for
descriptions of all configuration options.
Bridge spanning tree protocol
When this option is enabled, the AP uses the Spanning-Tree Protocol to prevent undesirable
loops from occurring in the network that may result in decreased throughput.
Spanning tree can be enabled for untagged ports and/or VLAN ports.
When VLAN support is enabled, it applies to VLANs defined on the Network > Ports page
only. It does not apply to the management VLAN defined in the VLAN box on the Network >
Ports > [Port 1 | Port 2] page.
Priority
Sets the priority of the AP within the spanning tree network. Generally, the bridge with
lowest priority is designated as the root bridge of the spanning tree.
