Configuring Parameters for an AP's Wired Interface

Context

You can configure the wired interface on a root AP to connect to the AC or configure the wired interface on an AP to deploy a Layer 2 network or directly associate with STAs.

On WDS networks, an AP wired interface can work in the following modes:

  • root mode: The wired interface that connects the root AP to the AC must work in root mode.
  • endpoint mode: When the wired interface of an AP works in endpoint mode, the AP's wired interface can directly connect to a STA or be used to deploy Layer 2 networks.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run wlan

    The WLAN view is displayed.

  3. Run wired-port-profile name profile-name

    An AP wired port profile is created and the AP wired port profile view is displayed.

    By default, the system provides the AP wired port profile default.

  4. Set parameters for an AP wired interface.

    • Configure a wired interface to work in root mode.
      1. Run the mode root command to configure an AP's wired interface to work in root mode.

        By default,
        • On a common AP (excluding AirEngine series APs): Its GE interfaces work in root mode, Ethernet interfaces in endpoint mode, and Eth-Trunk interfaces in root mode.
        • On a central AP (excluding AirEngine series APs): Its uplink 10GE/GE interfaces in root mode and downlink GE interfaces work in middle mode.
        • On an R230D: Its Ethernet interface works in root mode.
        • On an R240D and AP2051DN-L-S: Their Ethernet interfaces work in endpoint mode and GE interfaces in root mode.

        • On an R450D: Its GE interface works in root mode.
        • AirEngine 5760-10: Its GE interface works in root mode.
        • On an AirEngine 8760-X1-PRO, AirEngine 6760-X1, AirEngine 6760-X1E, and AirEngine 5760-51: Its 10GE/5GE/GE interfaces work in root and Eth-Trunk interfaces work in root mode.
        • On an AirEngine 8760R-X1, AirEngine 8760R-X1E, AirEngine 6760R-51, and AirEngine 6760R-51E: Its 10GE/5GE interfaces work in root, GE interfaces in endpoint, and Eth-Trunk interfaces in root mode.
        • On an AirEngine 5760-22W and AirEngine 5760-22WD: Its 10GE/2.5GE interfaces work in root mode and GE interfaces work in endpoint mode.
        • On an AirEngine 9700D-M: Its uplink 10GE interfaces in root mode and downlink GE interfaces work in middle mode.
    • Configure a wired interface to work in endpoint mode.
      1. Run the mode endpoint command to configure an AP's wired interface to work in endpoint mode.

        By default,
        • On a common AP (excluding AirEngine series APs): Its GE interfaces work in root mode, Ethernet interfaces in endpoint mode, and Eth-Trunk interfaces in root mode.
        • On a central AP (excluding AirEngine series APs): Its uplink 10GE/GE interfaces in root mode and downlink GE interfaces work in middle mode.
        • On an R230D: Its Ethernet interface works in root mode.
        • On an R240D and AP2051DN-L-S: Their Ethernet interfaces work in endpoint mode and GE interfaces in root mode.
        • On an R250D, R250D-E, AP2050DN, AP5510-W-GP, AP2050DN-S, AP2050DN-E, AP2051DN, AP2051DN-S, AP2051DN-E, R251D, and R251D-E: Their uplink GE interfaces work in root mode and downlink GE interfaces in endpoint mode.
        • On an R450D: Its GE interface works in root mode.
        • AirEngine 5760-10: Its GE interface works in root mode.
        • On an AirEngine 8760-X1-PRO, AirEngine 6760-X1, AirEngine 6760-X1E, and AirEngine 5760-51: Its 10GE/5GE/GE interfaces work in root and Eth-Trunk interfaces work in root mode.
        • On an AirEngine 8760R-X1, AirEngine 8760R-X1E, AirEngine 6760R-51, and AirEngine 6760R-51E: Its 10GE/5GE interfaces work in root, GE interfaces in endpoint, and Eth-Trunk interfaces in root mode.
        • On an AirEngine 5760-22W and AirEngine 5760-22WD: Its 10GE/2.5GE interfaces work in root mode and GE interfaces work in endpoint mode.
        • On an AirEngine 9700D-M: Its uplink 10GE interfaces in root mode and downlink GE interfaces work in middle mode.
      2. Run the vlan pvid vlan-id command to configure the PVID of an AP's wired interface.

        By default, no PVID is configured for an AP wired interface.

      3. Run the vlan { tagged | untagged } { vlan-id1 [ to vlan-id2 ] } &<1-10> command to add an AP's wired interface to VLANs.

        By default, an AP's wired interface allows packets from all VLANs to pass. The wired interface is added to VLAN 1 in untagged mode and to other VLANs in tagged mode.

        An AP's wired interface can be added to a maximum of 256 VLANs.

      4. Run the user-isolate { all | l2 } command to enable user isolation on an AP's wired interface.

        By default, user isolation is disabled on an AP's wired interface.

Follow-up Procedure

Run the wired-port-profile profile-name interface-type interface-number command in the AP group view or AP view to bind the specified AP wired port profile to the AP's wired interface.
