Configure Spanning Tree Protocol, 802.1Q VLAN, and
Link Layer Discovery Protocol
As part of the advanced system configuration, you can enable the Spanning Tree Protocol
(STP), configure the VLANs, and enable Ethernet Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) as
described in the following sections:
• Configure STP and VLANs
• Configure Ethernet LLDP
Configure STP and VLANs
STP provides network traffic optimization in locations where multiple access points are active
by preventing path redundancy. If your location includes more than one active access point,
we recommend that you enable STP.
Setting Description
DHCP Client By default, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client is disabled. If
your LAN includes a DHCPv6 server and you select the Enable radio button, the
access point receives its dynamic IPv6 address, prefix length, and default
gateway settings automatically from the DHCPv6 server on your network when
you connect the access point to your LAN.
IPv6 Address Enter the IP address of your access point. The default IP address is
2001::21c:c0ff:fe69. To change the address, enter an unused IPv6 address
from the address range used on your LAN.
Prefix Length Enter the prefix length for the IPv6 address. The default prefix length us 64.
Default Gateway Enter the IPv6 address of the ISP gateway to which the access point connects.
Dynamic IPv6 Address The dynamic IPv6 address that is assigned by the DHCPv6 server on your
network. This address does not overwrite the address in the IPv6 Address field.
Primary DNS Server Enter the IP address of the primary and secondary DNS servers.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as
www.netgear.com) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP
address of one or two DNS servers to your access point during login. If the ISP
does not transfer an address, you must obtain it from the ISP and enter it
manually in this field.
Secondary DNS Server
Network Integrity Check Select this check box to validate that the upstream link is active before allowing
WiFi associations. Ensure that the default gateway is configured.
