PLANET MAP-3100 - Manual (Page 18)

WAN port is active and will be used for Internet Connection. Three
types of Internet connection will be available, please refer to
section 3.3.2 for more.
Relay
(MAP-3100 only)
Layer 3 Relay Mode. Relay mode can help to route between mesh
backhaul and local WiFi/LAN network. Also, a Relay mode Mesh
AP can help to route the packets from other Relay node to the
destination IP subnet or Gateway.
WAN port is disabled at this mode. At the same time no WAN
setting is required.
Client-Relay
(MAP-3100 only)
Layer 3 Client-Relay Mode.
At this mode, the Mesh node can only route between local
WiFi/LAN network to mesh backhaul. It will not help to route
packets from other Relay node. This mode can be used to reduce
the unnecessary routing especially if this Mesh node is in the edge
of the whole mesh topology.
Layer 2 Gateway Layer 2 Gateway Mode.
At this mode, the Mesh AP can be viewed as a bridge. This bridge
can bridge between WAN, LAN, Mesh backhaul, and WiFi. As a
Gateway, the WAN interface will turns into the public bridge port
that connects to the existing Ethernet network.
Be noted, only ONE Gateway is allowed in the same Mesh
network.
Layer 2 Relay Layer 2 Relay Mode.
At this mode, the Mesh node act as a mesh relay that can bridge
between WAN, LAN, Mesh backhaul and WiFi.
i. Click on “Apply” button if you have made any changes. New settings are active after
the device reboot.
Note
For MAP-3000, if set to Layer 2 mode without any change to the IP settings,
it will still remains at its default IP address instead of change to 192.168.0.1
that is being used for MAP-3020 by default.
If you plan to set your MAP-3000 to Layer 2 mode, remember to write down
the default IP address before you reboot the system.
