Configuring the
Ethernet Address
Table
If you have a secondary LAN, you should configure the Ethernet address
table in the designated bridge or WAP on the secondary LAN. This table
contains all the MAC addresses on the secondary LAN that are
communicating with the primary LAN. You must enter the MAC addresses
of all devices on the secondary LAN that do not always initiate
communication.
Table 5. Ethernet Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Explanation
Port Type Appears only if the access point has a fiber optic
port.
This field specifies the port that the access point
uses to communicate with the Ethernet network:
10/100 Mb Twisted-Pair: The access point
communicates with the Ethernet network through
the Ethernet port.
100 Mb Fiber Optic: The access point
communicates with the Ethernet network through
the fiber optic port.
Link Speed If Port Type is 100 Mb Fiber Optic, this field is
automatically set to 100 Mbps Fiber Optic (full
duplex).
Choose the speed and duplex mode you want
this port to use to communicate with the Ethernet.
If you want the access point to auto-negotiate this
field, choose Auto Select. Auto Select should
work for most networks.
Enable Link Status
Check Check this check box if you want the access point
to periodically check its Ethernet connection. If it
loses the connection, this access point can no
longer be the root access point and any end
devices that are connected to this access point
(whether or not it is the root) will roam to a
different access point. The access point will
attempt to reconnect to the spanning tree through
one of its radio ports.
Clear this check box if this access point must be
the root access point or if it is used as a WAP.
