point, depending on how you configure this option, as shown in
Figure 9.
4.11.4 VLAN Configuration
Default setting of VLAN is “Disabled”. By clicking “Enabled”, VLAN can be enabled. A2
supports VLAN to VAP mappings to provide network security.
Management VLAN is used to configure the management VLAN of A2. A2 can only be
accessed through the specified management VLAN when VLAN is enabled. It will be ignored
when VLAN is disabled.
Native VLAN Tagging configuration specifies the tagging for packets in the native VLAN.
Default setting is “Disabled” and native VLAN packets are transmitted with untagged. If it sets
to “Enabled”, tagged native VLAN packets are transmitted.
4.11.5 STP Configuration
STP ensures a loop free topology for any bridged LAN. Under switch mode, STP can be
configured with choice of “Enabled” and “Disabled”, where the default setting is “Disabled”.
The system supports the following fixed default STP parameters:
Bridge priority: 32768
Bridge maximum age: 20 seconds
Bridge hello time: 2 seconds
Bridge forwarding delay: 15 seconds
Ethernet port path cost: 80
Ethernet port priority: 128
802.11a bridge port path cost for each bridge link: 100
802.11a bridge port path priority for each bridge link: 128
4.11.6 DHCP Client
By enabling DHCP Client and clicking the icon Update, the A2 will acquire a dynamic IP
address from a DHCP server after rebooting.
Without enabling DHCP Client, the IP Address, Subnet Mask and the Default Gateway
Address should be configured by the user, unless the user prefers using the default setting.
NOTE: It is not recommended enabling DHCP client to allocate the IP address for A2
due to the fact that DHCP server may assign a dynamic IP address to the A2. Users associate A2
web-admin pages impossibly as the A2 IP address is unknown
