LAN ID (Domain)
Enter the LAN ID. All access points must have the same LAN ID to
participate in the same spanning tree. The LAN ID can be from 0
to 254.
Also, if you assign a LAN ID greater than 15, the AT-WL2411 uses a
LAN ID that is the remainder after dividing the LAN ID by 16. For
example, if you set the LAN ID to 21 or 37, the access point uses 5.
Root Priority
Determines if this access point is a candidate to become the root
of the spanning tree. The access point with the highest root
priority becomes the root whenever it is powered on and active.
The root priority can be a value from 0 to 7. If you set the root
priority to 0, the AT-WL2411 can never become the root access
point.

IAPP Frame Type
Controls the encapsulation of Inner Access Point Protocol (IAPP)
frames sent by this access point. You can select either DIX
(Ethernet 2.0) or SNAP encapsulation. Choose SNAP if other
network computers use SNAP encapsulation for IP frames.
Ethernet Bridging
Determines how wireless frames are converted to Ethernet frames
and vice versa.
Enabled
Choose Enabled if you want frames to be forwarded directly to
the Ethernet network. On the root access point, this parameter is
always enabled.
Disabled
Choose Disabled to use data link tunneling. The AT-WL2411
forwards data from the wireless network encapsulated in OWL
data frames to the root access point. The root access point
unencapsulates these frames and dumps them raw on the
Ethernet network. Also, the root access point encapsulates all
Ethernet traffic that is sent to the wireless network. When access
points receive this traffic, they forward it to the wireless network.
This process makes it seem like all wireless traffic is originating on
the root access point’s switch port. You may need to use data link
tunnels to make roaming transparent to network protocols that
are not designed to accommodate roaming.
