downlink ports, regardless of forwarding mode. STP will not operate on the uplink port and is supported
only on W-IAPs with three or more ports. By default Spanning Tree is disabled on wired profiles.
4. Click Next. The VLAN tab details are displayed.
5. Enter the following information.
a. Mode—You can specify any of the following modes:
l Access—Select this mode to allow the port to carry a single VLAN specified as the native VLAN.
l Trunk—Select this mode to allow the port to carry packets for multiple VLANs specified as allowed
VLANs.
b. Specify any of the following values for Client IP Assignment:
l Virtual Controller Assigned: Select this option to allow the Virtual Controller to assign IP addresses
to the wired clients. When the Virtual Controller assignment is used, the source IP address is
translated for all client traffic that goes through this interface. The Virtual Controller can also assign a
guest VLAN to a wired client.
l Network Assigned: Select this option to allow the clients to receive an IP address from the network
to which the Virtual Controller is connected. On selecting this option, the New button to create a
VLAN is displayed. Create a new VLAN if required.
c. If the Trunk mode is selected:
l Specify the Allowed VLAN, enter a list of comma separated digits or ranges 1,2,5 or 1-4, or all. The
Allowed VLAN refers to the VLANs carried by the port in Access mode.
l If the Client IP Assignment is set to Network Assigned, specify a value for Native VLAN. A VLAN
that does not have a VLAN ID tag in the frames is referred to as Native VLAN. You can specify a value
within the range of 1-4093.
d. If the Access mode is selected:
l If the Client IP Assignment is set to Virtual Controller Assigned, proceed to step 2.
l If the Client IP Assignment is set to Network Assigned, specify a value for Access VLAN to
indicate the VLAN carried by the port in the Access mode.
6. Click Next to configure internal or external captive portal authentication, roles and access rules for the
guest users.
