LAN Settings

The default wired interface settings, which include DHCP and VLAN information, might not work for all networks.

By default, the DHCP client on the Access Point automatically broadcasts requests for network information. If you want to use a static IP address, you must disable the DHCP client and manually configure the IP address and other network information.

The management VLAN is VLAN 1 by default. This VLAN is also the default untagged VLAN. If you already have a management VLAN configured on your network with a different VLAN ID, you must change the VLAN ID of the management VLAN on the AP.

Field	Description
Hostname	Enter the DNS name (host name) for the AP in the text box. The DNS name has the following requirements: Maximum of 20 characters Only letters, numbers and dashes. Double quote (") is not a valid character. Must start with a letter and end with either a letter or a number
MAC Address	Shows the MAC address for the LAN interface for the Ethernet port on this AP. This is a read-only field that you cannot change.
Management VLAN ID	The management VLAN is the VLAN associated with the IP address you use to access the AP. The default management VLAN ID is 1. Provide a number between 1 and 4094 for the management VLAN ID.
Untagged VLAN	If you disable the untagged VLAN, all traffic is tagged with a VLAN ID. By default all traffic on the Access Point uses VLAN 1, which is the default untagged VLAN. This means that all traffic is untagged until you disable the untagged VLAN, change the untagged traffic VLAN ID, or change the VLAN ID for a VAP or client using RADIUS.
Untagged VLAN ID	Provide a number between 1 and 4094 for the untagged VLAN ID. Traffic on the VLAN that you specify in this field will not be tagged with a VLAN ID.
Connection Type	If you select DHCP, the Access Point acquires its IP address, subnet mask, DNS, and gateway information from a DHCP server. If you select Static IP, you must enter information in the Static IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway fields.
Static IP Address	Enter the static IP address in the text boxes. This field is disabled if you use DHCP as the connection type.
Subnet Mask	Enter the Subnet Mask in the text boxes.
Default Gateway	Enter the Default Gateway in the text boxes.
DNS Nameservers	Select the mode for the DNS. In Dynamic mode, the IP addresses for the DNS servers are assigned automatically via DHCP. This option is only available if you specified DHCP for the Connection Type. In Manual mode, you must assign static IP addresses to resolve domain names.

Note: After you configure the wired settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN traffic is low.
